Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the 2 tbsp of chia seeds with 6 tbsp of almond milk. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens into a pudding-like consistency.
- In a medium-sized pot, add the 1/2 cup of multi-grain oatmeal, the grated zucchini, and 1 cup of almond milk.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Allow it to cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the oatmeal is tender and the zucchini is fully cooked.
- Once the oatmeal and zucchini mixture is cooked, remove the pot from the heat.
- Stir in the mashed banana and 1 tbsp of dry cocoa powder until everything is well combined. The heat from the oatmeal will help melt the banana and incorporate the cocoa powder evenly.

- Top each bowl with the prepared chia pudding, creating a layered effect.
