Description
A creamy chocolate chia pudding packed with plant-based protein and healthy fats. This quick vegan treat works perfectly as a breakfast, snack, or post-workout dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 scoop plant-based protein powder
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- In a bowl or jar, whisk together the plant-based milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup or agave, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and fully combined.
- Add the chia seeds and stir thoroughly to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
- Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator.
- Chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Stir once more before serving. Enjoy as is or top with optional additions like berries, cacao nibs, or coconut cream.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk or a rich oat milk.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or agave.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for easy meal prep.
- Add toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, cacao nibs, or shredded coconut for extra texture.
