Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to distribute the cocoa evenly.

Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 3: Let It Sit
Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
