Indulge in the creamy decadence of this Soy-Free High Protein Chocolate Pudding, a guilt-free treat thatβs as nutritious as it is delicious! Packed with plant-based protein from soy-free vanilla protein powder and the natural thickening power of chia seeds, this pudding is a wholesome twist on a classic dessert. Rich unsweetened cocoa powder provides deep chocolate flavor, while almond milk and a touch of maple syrup create the perfect balance of creaminess and sweetness. Best of all, itβs ready in just 10 minutes of prep and can be chilled for a make-ahead snack or dessert. Whether you enjoy it as-is or topped with fresh berries, nuts, or a dollop of coconut whipped cream, this protein-packed pudding is perfect for anyone seeking a soy-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free indulgence.
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.
