Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a medium-sized mixing bowl or glass jar, whisk together:

• ¼ cup chia seeds

• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

• 1 scoop of plant-based protein powder

Tip: Sift the cocoa powder if it’s clumpy for a smoother consistency.

2. Add the Wet Ingredients:

Pour in:

• 1 cup of your favorite plant-based milk

• 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave

• A splash of vanilla extract (optional) and a small pinch of salt (optional)

Stir everything well until no dry clumps remain. A whisk or fork works best.

3. Let it Sit for 5 Minutes:

Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. This second stir helps the chia seeds distribute evenly throughout the mixture.

4. Chill & Thicken:

Cover your bowl or jar and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best texture.

By morning, it should be thick, creamy, and ready to enjoy!

5. Top & Serve:

Before serving, give it a quick stir. Add your favorite toppings, such as:

• Dairy-free yogurt

• Dark chocolate shavings

• Fresh berries or sliced banana

• A spoonful of peanut butter

Now, enjoy your high-protein chocolate chia pudding!

Notes

• This chia pudding will keep in the fridge for up to 4–5 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
