Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup chia seeds
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes to ensure the chia seeds and protein powder are evenly distributed.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into a jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully expand and the mixture to thicken.
Before serving, stir the pudding to redistribute any settled seeds.
Portion the pudding into bowls or jars, serving approximately 1/2 cup per person.
Top with fresh berries and sliced almonds, if desired, before serving.
