Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (or your preferred flavor)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional, for thicker texture)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for chocolate flavor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (like maple syrup, honey, or stevia)
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh berries, nuts, or granola for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, protein powder, chia seeds (if using), cocoa powder (if making chocolate pudding), vanilla extract, sweetener, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours or overnight, allowing the pudding to thicken. If not using chia seeds, 30 minutes in the fridge should be sufficient for thickening.
- Once thickened, give it a final stir and taste. Adjust sweetness if needed.
- Serve chilled, topped with fresh berries, nuts, or granola for added crunch and flavor.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use Greek yogurt instead of almond milk.
- You can change the flavor by using chocolate, strawberry, or other flavored protein powders.
- Adjust sweetness to your taste preference or dietary needs.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, omit chia seeds.
