Description
A delicious and nutritious chia seed pudding packed with protein and fiber, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: Start by taking a mixing bowl. Add the chia seeds first. Then, pour in the almond milk. Next, add in the chocolate protein powder, maple syrup (if you want some sweetness), vanilla extract, and the pinch of salt.
- Whisk thoroughly: It’s important to mix these ingredients well. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine everything. Make sure the chocolate protein powder dissolves completely and that the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Let it sit: After mixing, let your mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to start absorbing the liquid. During this time, stir the mixture again to prevent any clumping.
- Refrigerate: Once the chia seeds have begun to absorb some of the liquid, cover the bowl. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes. For best results, leaving it overnight will help the pudding achieve a thicker texture.
- Serve: When you’re ready to enjoy your pudding, take it out of the refrigerator. It should be chilled and creamy. You can top it with your favorite items like fresh fruits, nuts, or an extra drizzle of chocolate or maple syrup.
Notes
Customize with your favorite toppings like fruits, nuts, or nut butters. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
