  • Total Time: 2 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and chia seeds until well blended, ensuring even distribution and allowing chia seeds to start absorbing moisture.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey (or chosen sweetener), and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  3. Chill and Set: Transfer the pudding into individual serving jars or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to thicken the pudding to a perfect creamy consistency.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, stir the pudding gently to combine any separated layers. Serve as a nutritious dessert or snack, optionally garnished with fresh berries or nuts.

Notes

  • Adjust almond milk quantity to achieve your preferred pudding thickness.
  • Use a high-quality chocolate-flavored protein powder for best flavor.
  • Start with less sweetener and increase gradually to avoid overpowering the chocolate taste.
  • Use a blender or whisk thoroughly to break up any lumps for a smooth texture.
  • Don’t rush chilling; proper time is key for pudding to set and develop flavor.
