Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop plant-based/vegan protein powder (chocolate or vanilla flavor)
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, to taste)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Optional Toppings

  • Coconut whip
  • Cacao nibs
  • Fresh berries
  • Dark chocolate shavings
  • Dairy-free yogurt
  • Sliced banana
  • Spoonful of peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, whisk together the plant-based milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and pinch of sea salt until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  2. Add the Chia Seeds: Stir the chia seeds into the chocolate mixture evenly to ensure they are well distributed.
  3. Let it Sit for 5 Minutes: Allow the mixture to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together and promote even gelatinous texture.
  4. Chill & Thicken: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, so the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.
  5. Top & Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a quick stir. Add your favorite toppings such as coconut whip, cacao nibs, fresh berries, dairy-free yogurt, or a spoonful of peanut butter for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • This chia pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days, making it ideal for meal prepping.
  • Feel free to customize the sweetness by adjusting the maple syrup or agave according to your preference.
  • Using different flavors of plant-based milk or protein powder can alter the flavor profile to your liking.
