Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (plain or flavored)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Optional Mix-ins

  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, milk, protein powder, and maple syrup and whisk thoroughly until well blended. Add any optional mix-ins like cocoa powder at this stage.
  2. Refrigerate: Divide the mixture evenly between two bowls or glass jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
  3. Serve: When ready to eat, give the pudding a good stir. Add extra milk or liquid if the pudding is too thick, then enjoy cold.

Notes

  • Cocoa powder can be added for a chocolate flavor, but it’s optional.
  • Store the chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days.
  • For long-term storage, freeze the pudding in a freezer-safe jar for up to six months.
