Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste) Can skip for lower sugar.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  2. Stir in the chia seeds until they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to let the pudding thicken.
  5. Once set, give it a stir and serve as desired. Top with fresh fruit or nuts for extra crunch!

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. No need to reheat; serve cold.
