Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk) Can substitute with coconut milk for a creamier texture.
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder Feel free to experiment with different flavors of protein powder.
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
  2. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken.
  4. Once thickened, stir the pudding again and serve in bowls.

Notes

Serve chilled in bowls and top with sliced fruits, nuts, or extra maple syrup as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before serving again. For a thicker pudding, let it sit in the fridge longer.
