Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder
- 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or large jar with a lid, whisk together the chia seeds, protein powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract.
- Whisk or seal the jar and shake vigorously for a full 60 seconds to fully combine and prevent clumps.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then give it one more thorough stir or shake.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
Notes
For best results, do not skip the vigorous initial mixing and the 5-minute rest stir. The pudding thickens best overnight. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Customize with toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, nut butter, or spices.
