Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure the protein powder is fully incorporated and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the pudding reaches a thick, creamy consistency. For best results, leave it overnight.
Just before serving, wash the strawberries and pat them dry. Slice them into thin pieces.
Divide the chia pudding into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the sliced strawberries and sprinkle with sliced almonds for added crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious, high-protein chia pudding with refreshing strawberries.
