  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Jar or airtight container

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3-5 Tbsp maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or light coconut milk)
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds

Instructions
