Description

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

Units Scale
  • 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

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together almond milk, cocoa powder, protein powder, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Add chia seeds and stir well to combine.
  3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken.
  5. 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.
