- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (for topping)

Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate protein powder to break up any clumps.

Stir in the coconut cream, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using) until thoroughly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or divide it evenly among individual serving bowls or jars.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to thicken to a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
Once ready to serve, give the pudding a quick stir to redistribute the chia seeds.
