# Directions:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until well combined. Allow mixture to rest for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps.

03 - When ready to assemble, slice the ripe banana into uniform rounds.
04 - Divide the thickened chia pudding between two serving jars or glasses. Layer half the pudding at the bottom, add banana slices, drizzle with peanut butter, then repeat with remaining pudding, banana, and peanut butter.
05 - Add chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and additional banana slices to each serving. Serve immediately while chilled.
