Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder (soy-free)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and chia seeds. Stir well until the seeds are evenly distributed.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, soy-free vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the chia seed mixture.
Whisk everything together thoroughly until the cocoa powder and protein powder are fully incorporated, and there are no lumps.
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then give it another good stir to ensure the chia seeds do not clump together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into airtight containers.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to thicken and allow the chia seeds to gel.
Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to ensure an even consistency. Spoon into serving dishes or bowls.
Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, sliced almonds, or a dollop of coconut whipped cream for added flavor and texture.
