High Protein Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
Indulge in a creamy, chocolatey pudding packed with protein and nutrients, perfect for a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
Pudding Base
- 1/4 cup chia seeds Can be adjusted based on thickness preference.
- 2 cups almond milk Any plant-based milk can be used.
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder Swap for vanilla protein powder for a variation.
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup Adjust to taste for sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor enhancement.
- a pinch salt Balances sweetness.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken.
- Once set, stir the pudding and serve as desired. Add toppings like fresh fruit or nuts for an extra crunch!
Notes
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days. Chia pudding doesn’t freeze well, so stick to refrigeration. You can make it a day ahead for added flavor.
