A rich, creamy, and healthy Chocolate Chia Protein Pudding packed with fiber, protein, and chocolate flavor — perfect for breakfast or a post-workout snack.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together almond milk, cocoa powder, protein powder, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Add chia seeds and stir well to combine.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken.
- Stir before serving and enjoy as is or with your favorite toppings like fruit, nuts, or shredded coconut.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup or using a zero-calorie sweetener.
- Use a blender for a smoother texture if you prefer no whole chia seeds.
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
