    The recipe for this snickers chia pudding serves up all the elements of the Snicker's bar, including chocolate, caramel and peanut butter. And it's all packaged in the most protein-rich ingredient of them all - chia seeds. 

    Like my peanut butter oatmeal balls, my cookie dough bites, and my oatmeal peanut butter bars, this pudding is an easy quick recipe to make.

    You'll Love This Recipe

    So easy to make. It's awesome when a protein-rich snack is easy to stir up in a bowl. That's this! Stir up, allow to chia seeds to gel, and enjoy! You'll love the taste of nut butter in this creamy layered pudding. Studies show that the combination of chocolate and a nutty flavor triggers a strong reaction in most taste-buds.

    Protein-rich. The main ingredient in this peanuty pudding is chia seeds. And chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse. Each tiny seed is loaded with fiber, protein, healthy fats, calcium and antioxidants. And the delicious seeds are loaded with disease-fighting omegas.

    Ingredients

    ingredients for snickers chia pudding
    • Milk. I used a creamy almond milk but you can use cashew milk, even full fat coconut milk or oat milk. Just beware of how sweetened it is and adjust accordingly the amount of sweetener you add to your pudding mixture.
    • Cocoa powder. Use unsweetened, and regular, not dutch.
    • Peanut butter. Choose a natural kind with only nuts in the ingredients.
    • Maple syrup. Choose pure maple syrup, or agave or date paste or date syrup. This sweetener has a low glucose index and is high in iron.
    • Vanilla extract.
    • Chia seeds. Chia seeds are a seed, and enjoy a lot of adulation in the past decade. They are full of fiber, antioxidants, calcium and show support for reducing coronary heart disease.[NIH source]

    Storage

    Store the jars in the refrigerator covered tightly for up to 3 days. You can freeze them in a sealed container for a month, but it will take a few hours to allow them to thaw.

    Recipe Tips

    The chia pudding layer doesn't have to be blended. Traditional chia pudding is just allowed to gel and then is ready to eat. You can skip the blending but the final pudding won't be smooth, it will have a bumpy gel quality.

    Use a quality peanut butter because it will influence the flavor of both layers. You'll want a brand that has just nuts and oil and perhaps salt in the ingredient list. And you might have to stir the jar before measuring out the peanut butter if the nut butter and oil has separated.

    FAQS

    What is chia pudding made of?

    To make chia pudding, you need only milk and chia seeds. Stir them together and let the chia seeds absorb the milk, gel and your pudding is ready. You can eat it as is or add flavors and other ingredients.

    Do you blend chia pudding?

    You can blend it for a smoothie texture, or you can eat it after it has gelled.
