Ingredients

¼ cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 scoop plant-based protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)

1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)

3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave

Splash of vanilla extract (optional)

Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl or glass jar, whisk together chia seeds, cocoa powder, and plant-based protein powder. Sift the cocoa powder if it’s clumpy for a smoother consistency.
  2. Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the plant-based milk, maple syrup (or agave), and optional vanilla extract and salt. Stir everything well until no dry clumps remain.
  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.
  4. Chill & Thicken: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best texture. It will thicken into a creamy pudding.
  5. Top & Serve: Before serving, give it a quick stir. Add your favorite toppings like dairy-free yogurt, dark chocolate shavings, fresh berries, sliced banana, or peanut butter. Enjoy your high-protein chocolate chia pudding!

Notes

  • This chia pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 4-5 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup/agave based on your preference.
  • Top with a variety of fruits, nut butters, or even granola to customize the flavor and texture.
