Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1–2 tbsp natural sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, or honey)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • ½ mashed banana
  • 1 tbsp flaxseeds

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine almond milk, Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, natural sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend everything until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the pudding is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  2. Let It Thicken: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl or individual serving cups. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the pudding to a creamy texture.
  3. Stir & Adjust Consistency: Before serving, stir the pudding well to evenly distribute the thickened chia seeds. If the pudding is too dense, add a splash of milk and stir again until the consistency is smooth and creamy.
  4. Serve & Enjoy: Garnish with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, nuts, or an extra spoonful of peanut butter for added flavor. Serve the pudding chilled for a refreshing and healthy treat.

Notes

  • Use almond milk or any milk of your choice depending on dietary preferences or availability.
  • Adjust the amount of sweetener according to taste or dietary restrictions; options like stevia and monk fruit are low-calorie alternatives.
  • Letting the pudding chill longer than 1 hour can result in a thicker texture.
  • Optional add-ins like peanut butter or mashed banana can add extra flavor and nutritional benefits.
  • For a smoother pudding, blend the ingredients thoroughly and add more milk if needed.
