It’s creamy, chocolatey, and naturally sweetened, perfect for a filling breakfast or a post-workout treat.
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 to start mixing the seeds and milk well.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the chocolate vegan protein powder, cocoa powder, and sweetener (stevia or maple syrup) to the blender.
- Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is very smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick to blend properly, add a bit more milk to help achieve the desired texture.
- Chill the pudding: Transfer the blended mixture into a container or bowl. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes, or up to overnight, so the chia seeds can absorb the liquid and the pudding can thicken.
Notes
- Use any plant-based milk you prefer, such as oat, soy, or cashew milk.
- Adjust sweetness according to your taste by adding more or less stevia or maple syrup.
- For a thicker pudding, let it chill longer or add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.
- This recipe is vegan and gluten-free.
- Enjoy cold straight from the fridge or add your favorite toppings like sliced banana, nuts, or coconut flakes.
