In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk and blanched almond butter. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt to the bowl.
Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
Transfer the mixture into a blender and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds to ensure a silky and uniform texture.
Pour the mixture into serving bowls or jars.
Cover the bowls with plastic wrap or lids and place them in the refrigerator.
Allow the pudding to chill and set for at least 4 hours, or overnight for a thicker consistency.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few fresh berries.
