Chocolate Chia Pudding

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

¼ cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 scoop plant-based protein powder

1 ½ cups plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)

3 tbsp maple syrup or agave

vanilla extract and salt (optional, to taste)

Directions

In a medium bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and a small pinch of salt.

Slowly add 1 cup of milk while stirring. This helps to keep the mixture smooth. Make sure everything is well combined.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener. Stir until it’s fully mixed in. You can taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid.

Place the bowl in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.

Stir the pudding again before serving to make sure there are no clumps.

You can serve it as is or top with fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
