Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other milk of choice)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds (24 g)
- 1 scoop chocolate vegan protein powder (30-40 g)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (14 g)
- 2 packets stevia or liquid stevia drops to taste (or 1 tbsp maple syrup)
Instructions
- Blend Milk and Chia Seeds: Add the unsweetened almond milk to the blender first, then add the chia seeds. Blend for about 30 seconds until the seeds begin to break down and integrate into the milk.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the chocolate vegan protein powder, cocoa powder, and your chosen sweetener (stevia or maple syrup) to the blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is very smooth and creamy. If the pudding is too thick to blend well, add a small amount of extra milk to help achieve a creamy consistency.
- Chill: Transfer the mixture into a container or bowl. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding to the perfect texture.
Notes
- This recipe is vegan and gluten-free by default when using suitable protein powders and milk alternatives.
- You can customize sweetness according to your dietary preferences using stevia, maple syrup, honey, or other natural sweeteners.
- To vary the flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract before blending.
- For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds to 3 tablespoons.
- Leftover pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
