Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond milk (I used Malk Organics)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 teaspoon cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons ground flax
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons honey (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- ¼ cup coconut yogurt
- A handful of fresh fruit (such as bananas or berries)
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 2 tablespoons cacao nibs
Instructions
- Add almond milk, protein powder, cacao powder, ground flax, vanilla, honey (if using), and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend until well combined, or mix manually for texture.
- Divide 3 tablespoons of chia seeds into each of the two jars and pour half of the chocolate mixture into each jar.
- Whisk the mixture well to ensure no lumps of chia seeds are present. Let it settle for 5 minutes, then whisk again to eliminate clumps.
- Cover the jars and refrigerate overnight or for at least 3 hours to allow the chia seeds to expand.
- When ready to serve, top each pudding with coconut yogurt, fresh fruit, almond butter, and cacao nibs.
Notes
Chia pudding can be prepared a day ahead for a ready-to-eat meal.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings like nuts or granola for added crunch.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste.
