Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (about 20–25 grams)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, and peanut butter until all ingredients are well blended and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
- Initial Setting: Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and start thickening. Stir again after this period to prevent clumps.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the pudding to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
Notes
- Use your favorite milk, whether dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk.
- For a smoother texture, blend the mixture before refrigerating.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a natural sweetener such as honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Serve topped with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of extra peanut butter for added flavor and texture.
