Ingredients
Scale

- 1 scoop plant-based protein powder
- 1½ cups plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
- Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a small pinch of salt.
- Add Milk: Slowly pour in the plant-based milk while stirring continuously to prevent clumping. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Sweeten: Stir in the maple syrup or agave, adjusting the sweetness to your preference. Add vanilla extract if desired.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to eliminate any clumps. Enjoy as is, or top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a dollop of plant-based yogurt for added flavor and texture.
