Description
A delicious and healthy protein pudding that is easy to make and perfect for a nutritious treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to thicken the pudding.
- Once thickened, give the pudding a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve chilled, garnished with fresh berries, nuts, or a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the almond milk with coconut milk.
- Add a tablespoon of nut butter for extra creaminess and flavor.
