Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 scoop (about 25 g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1¼–1½ cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (for serving, optional)
  • Granola (optional)
  • Fresh berries
  • Nut butter of choice

Method
 

  1. Whisk the almond milk, protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Stir in the chia seeds until evenly combined.
  3. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Serve with Greek yogurt, fresh berries, granola, nut butter, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use fresh chia seeds for the best texture.
  • Adjust the consistency with extra milk if the pudding becomes too thick.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Add crunchy toppings just before serving for the best texture.
  • Try different protein powder flavors to create new variations without changing the recipe.
