While chia pudding may be a little too slimy on its own, when it’s blended with creamy peanut butter and cocoa powder, it tastes just like dessert. And we are all about dessert, especially when it’s first thing in the morning. If you really can’t stand the texture, throw the pudding in the blender after it’s gelled—it’ll smooth out quite a bit. You’re welcome!
