Ingredients

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 handful whole mint leaves
• 1/3 cup whole chia seeds
• 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch of sea salt
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Directions

1. In a small pot, mix together sugar, water and mint leaves

2. Bring to a boil and remove from heating, allowing to cool before using (it will thicken as it cools)

3. Remove mint leaves from syrup before using

4. In a high-speed blender or bowl, mix together chia seeds, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, sea salt, almond milk and two tablespoons of cooled mint simple syrup (you will have extra — pour it on ice cream or more fresh strawberries!)

5. Divide mixture into two 8-ounce mason jars and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving

6. Serve chilled
