    This easy plant-based Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Chia Seed Pudding is a healthy, clean eating recipe made with only 5 ingredients and it's vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, no-cook, paleo-friendly and contains no refined sugar.

    Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Chia Seed Pudding

    Chia seed pudding is something I make very frequently and enjoy because it literally takes less than 2 minutes to prepare.

    Some of the favorites I've made have been Pumpkin Spice and Pecan Chia Pudding, Vanilla Bean and Blueberry Chia Pudding, Pineapple Protein Chia Seed Pudding and Raspberry and Banana Chia Pudding.

    And although chocolate chia seed pudding is probably the one I make the most, I decided to dress it up a little and added mini chocolate chips to make it a little different.

    It does make it a little sweeter with the chocolate chips so if you don't want a really sweet dessert, you can always leave them out.

    I like to make mine either at night and leave it in the refrigerator overnight to have for breakfast in the morning or make it in the morning and it's ready for a mid-morning or afternoon snack.

    This recipe is organic, "almost raw", vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, no-cook, paleo-friendly and contains no refined sugar.

    Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions For Chocolate Chip Chia Seed Pudding

    Here are some expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:

    Homemade Almond Milk. I like to use homemade almond milk but feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk. Another great option is to use Joi Organic Almond Milk made with 100% organic almonds.

    Chocolate Chips. I find the "mini" chocolate chips work better in this recipe so they don't overpower the recipe, but you can also use standard-size chocolate chips. In addition, I prefer to use the Enjoy Life brand because they are allergy-friendly and contain only 3 ingredients.

    Cacao Powder. This can be substituted with regular cocoa powder in the same amount.

    Sweetness. I didn't add additional sweetener to this recipe because I felt the chocolate chips gave it enough sweetness without being too sweet. However, taste it and if you prefer it to be a little sweeter, just add 1-2 tablespoons of organic maple syrup.
