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

Vanilla extract and salt (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl or glass jar, whisk together the chia seeds, cocoa powder, and plant-based protein powder. Sift the cocoa powder if it’s clumpy for a smoother result.
  2. Pour in the plant-based milk, maple syrup or agave, and add a splash of vanilla extract and a small pinch of salt if using. Stir everything well until no dry clumps remain. A whisk or fork works best.
  3. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution of the chia seeds.
  4. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best texture. The chia pudding will thicken and become creamy.
  5. Before serving, give the pudding a quick stir. Add your favorite toppings, such as dairy-free yogurt, dark chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or a spoonful of peanut butter.

Notes

  • For a different flavor profile, swap the chocolate protein powder with vanilla or another flavor of your choice.
  • If you prefer a low-sugar option, substitute the maple syrup or agave with stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
  • To make the pudding thicker, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.
  • Customize toppings based on your preferences. Granola, chopped nuts, and almond butter can add extra flavor and texture.
