- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt thoroughly.
- Whisk mixture: Whisk the ingredients until well combined to ensure even distribution and prevent clumping of chia seeds.
- Rest and whisk again: Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any chia seed clusters that may have formed.
