In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Whisk the ingredients together until the protein powder is completely dissolved, and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Once the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and the pudding has thickened, give it a good stir.
Divide the pudding into two serving bowls or mason jars.
If desired, top with fresh berries and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Serve the chia pudding immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to five days for a quick and easy high-protein snack or breakfast option.
