I remember Red Velvet Cake as this rich, decadent, chocolaty dessert. Which is exactly what I tried to capture in this Red Velvet Cake Chia Pudding. It’s got a deep chocolate flavor with a subtle creaminess from the cashew butter and a slight hint of tang from the lemon juice that gives it a rich feel.

Chia pudding is my absolute favorite kind of pudding. It’s packed full of complete plant-based proteins and fiber. Not to mention chia puddings are highly customizable. This Red Velvet Cake Chia Pudding (and any other kind of chia pudding really) makes for a perfect healthy dessert, breakfast, or snack!

I promise you this easy vegan and gluten-free red velvet cake chia pudding will not disappoint. Bonus! It’s easy to make ahead so if you make a larger batch and portion it out, you have breakfast/snacks/dessert in less than 10 minutes for many days of the week. You can’t beat that!
