Ingredients
Scale
For the pudding:
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1–2 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For topping (optional):
- Whipped cream or coconut cream
- Dark chocolate shavings
- Cocoa powder dusting
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, cocoa powder, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Stir in chia seeds, making sure they’re evenly distributed. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, stirring once after the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping. This allows the pudding to set and develop its texture.
- When ready to serve, stir pudding to loosen consistency. Adjust thickness to your preference.
- Spoon into serving glasses and top with whipped cream, dark chocolate shavings, and a light cocoa dusting if desired. Enjoy your delicious chocolate chia pudding!
