Instructions
How to Make High Protein Chocolate Chia Pudding
In a bowl or jar, whisk together your chosen plant-based milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt until everything is smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent any clumping.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for desired thickness.
Before serving, give the pudding a gentle stir and add your favorite toppings.
