Notes

This pudding can be made days ahead and keeps well in the refrigerator for up to five days—perfect for meal prep. Swap the almond butter for any nut or seed butter if desired, each bringing a slightly different flavor. Adjust the sweetness or richness by adding more maple syrup or cocoa powder and blend again to combine. If the pudding thickens too much after chilling, simply stir in a splash of non-dairy milk until you reach the preferred consistency. Serve with coconut whipped cream, berries, or a sprinkle of granola for texture and contrast.
