Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Vanilla-flavored protein powder
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine unsweetened almond milk and cocoa powder. Whisk until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
Add the vanilla-flavored protein powder to the mixture and whisk well to ensure it's fully incorporated.
Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the vanilla extract, stevia or monk fruit sweetener, and salt to the bowl. Whisk everything together until smooth.
Transfer the mixture into a sealable container or divide it evenly into individual serving cups.
Cover and refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or until it thickens to your desired consistency. The chia seeds will expand and create a creamy, pudding-like texture.
Once set, remove the pudding from the refrigerator, give it a gentle stir, and enjoy. Optional: Top with fresh berries or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream before serving.
