A nutritious and filling high protein chocolate chia pudding that combines chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, and almond milk, perfect for busy mornings and post-workout recovery.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (about 40 g)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml), refrigerated carton preferred
  • 2 scoops chocolate protein powder (approx. 50–60 g total)
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (7 g), Dutch-processed preferred
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (30 ml), or substitute honey, agave, or stevia to taste
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (2.5 ml)
  • 1 pinch salt (about 0.5 g)

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl: chia, almond milk, protein powder, cocoa, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until it looks like thin chocolate milk.
  2. Whisk vigorously for 60–90 seconds until no visible protein clumps remain.
  3. Rest for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent surface dry clumps as the chia starts to absorb liquid and thicken.
  4. Strain if clumps remain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smooth pudding base.
  5. Transfer to an airtight container or divide into jars, refrigerate for 4+ hours or overnight to set.
  6. Stir before serving, thin with 1–2 tbsp almond milk if too thick, and top with berries or nuts.
