Ingredients
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) chocolate protein powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for thickening)
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (e.g., erythritol, stevia, maple syrup), optional
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Whisk briefly to remove any lumps.
- Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract. If using, add your sweetener now.
- Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture starts to thicken slightly. Ensure there are no dry pockets of powder.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully swell and the pudding to set to a thick consistency.
- Once chilled and set, stir the pudding well before serving.
- Serve cold and enjoy your guilt-free chocolate protein treat! Optionally, top with berries, sugar-free chocolate chips, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
