Ingredients:

1 banana
120g
1 tsp dry cocoa powder
5g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 tbsp chia seeds
16g
1 tsp peanut butter
5g

Instructions:

1. Mash the Banana:
- Peel the banana and place it in a medium-sized bowl.
- Use a fork to mash the banana until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
2. Mix in the Cocoa Powder:
- Add the teaspoon of dry cocoa powder to the mashed banana.
- Stir well to combine, ensuring the cocoa powder is evenly distributed throughout the banana mixture.
3. Add the Milk:
- Pour the 1/2 cup of milk into the banana and cocoa mixture.
- Stir thoroughly to ensure the milk is fully incorporated.
4. Incorporate the Chia Seeds:
- Sprinkle the tablespoon of chia seeds into the bowl.
- Mix well to distribute the chia seeds evenly throughout the mixture.
5. Blend in the Peanut Butter:
- Add the teaspoon of peanut butter.
- Stir until the peanut butter is fully dissolved and the entire mixture is well combined.
6. Let It Set:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into an airtight container.
- Place it in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
7. Serve:
- Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir.
- You can enjoy it as is or add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

Tips:

- Use a ripe banana for added sweetness and better texture.

- Let the pudding sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like consistency.

- Blend all the ingredients together for a smoother texture, or mix by hand for a more textural experience.

- Experiment with different types of milk, such as almond milk or coconut milk, for varied flavors.

- Top the pudding with your favorite fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of cocoa nibs for added crunch and nutrition.
