CHIA PUDDING BASE - Method
In a bowl or glass jar, add the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla and optional low-carb sweetener and stir well. If using a mason jar, add the lid and shake to combine.
Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then stir / shake/ massage to break up any chia clumps.
Stir in the yogurt. Cover and place the pudding in the fridge to thicken for 1 - 2 hours or overnight.
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS - Method
CHOCOLATE
Melt 2 squares of dark chocolate in a bain marie. Grate the remaining square.
Mix the cacao powder, pinch of salt, almond butter, sugar free syrup and additional milk into the chia pudding.
Spoon the chocolate chia pudding mix into your glass jars and top with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate and a sprinkle of grated chocolate.
BERRYLICIOUS
Blitz 1 cup of raspberries, blueberries or blackberries in a blender until slightly mushy.
Add a layer of chia pudding to 4 glasses or jars followed by a layer of berry and ½ tablespoon of coconut flakes. Repeat with a layer of chia pudding and finish with another layer of berry and coconut
ALMOND BUTTER
Add a layer of chia pudding to each of the 4 glasses followed by ½ of the almond butter and ½ of the chopped nuts.
Repeat with a layer of chia pudding and finish with the other half of almond butter and chopped nuts.
For a looser pudding, add ¼ cup / 60 ml of almond milk after soaking.

NOTE - I like the creamy pudding texture best using my method above. However, if you're short on time, throw all ingredients together at the same time and deal with any clumps by stirring vigorously before serving.
