Main Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds Can be substituted with ground flaxseed.
  • 2 cups almond milk Any plant-based milk works.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, add the chia seeds, almond milk, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  • Use a whisk to mix everything thoroughly until no clumps of protein powder or chia seeds are visible.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some liquid.
  • After 10 minutes, whisk again to ensure there are no clumps forming.
  • Cover the bowl with cling film or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum thickness.
  • Once chilled, spoon the pudding into bowls and top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or extra chocolate.

Notes

For best results, allow overnight chilling. You can also blend the ingredients for a smoother texture.
