Base Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate or vanilla protein powder
Flavor and Texture Enhancers
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (if using chocolate flavor)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for thickness and fiber)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix Protein and Milk: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk and protein powder until smooth and no clumps remain.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add cocoa powder (if using), chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk again until fully combined.
- Rest Mixture: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir once more to prevent clumping.
- Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Serve: Stir before serving and optionally top with fresh berries, nut butter, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Notes
- For a thicker and creamier pudding, blend the mixture in a blender before chilling.
- Omit chia seeds for a smoother texture or double the amount for a more pudding-like gel consistency.
- Adjust sweetness according to your protein powder and personal taste.
