Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 ½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop protein powder (plant-based or your choice)
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk or spoon
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cup
  • refrigerator-safe container or jars

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk chia seeds, cocoa powder, protein powder, and salt until fully combined. This prevents lumps from forming later.
  2. Pour in plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey. Stir until mixture is smooth and consistent.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir once after 15 minutes to prevent clumping.
  4. When ready to serve, stir the pudding again. Spoon into jars or bowls and top with fruit, coconut, or nut butter.

Customize it with nut butter, fruit, or even coffee for a mocha twist. Blend after chilling for mousse-like texture, and stir twice in the first hour for best consistency. Keeps well in the fridge for 5 days.
