Chocolate Chia Pudding
A delicious and nutritious chocolate chia pudding recipe that's easy to make and perfect for a healthy dessert or snack.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 scoop Chocolate Whey Protein
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Almond milk, coconut milk, or skim milk
- 1 cup Optional garnishes: coconut whipped cream or Greek yogurt, raspberries, mint sprigs
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the cocoa powder with a little almond milk until well combined. This step helps to avoid clumps in your pudding.
- Add the remaining almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, protein powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Ensure that all ingredients are well incorporated for the best texture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the mixture thickens. This chilling time allows the chia seeds to expand and absorb the liquid, creating a creamy pudding.
- Serve chilled, topped with garnishes if desired. Adding fresh raspberries or a dollop of coconut whipped cream takes it to the next level!
Notes
For a thicker pudding, add more chia seeds. Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
