Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 4 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, chocolate protein powder, and cocoa powder. Use a whisk to mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the chia seeds, honey, non-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit for at least 1 hour to allow it to thicken. For a thicker consistency, you can let it sit overnight.
Once the pudding has set to your desired thickness, stir it one more time to ensure even consistency.
Spoon the pudding into individual serving bowls or cups. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, sliced almonds, or a dollop of whipped cream before serving for added flavor and texture.
