Instructions
-
Combine Base Ingredients:
Add almond milk, chocolate protein powder, and cocoa powder to a mason jar or sealable container. Shake or stir until the protein powder is fully blended with the milk, removing any lumps. Use a frother if needed for a smooth consistency. -
Add Yogurt, Honey, and Chia Seeds:
Stir or shake the jar until Greek yogurt, honey, and chia seeds are evenly incorporated. Split into two jars if making individual servings. -
Refrigerate to Set:
Place the jar(s) in the fridge for at least 24 hours to allow the chia seeds to thicken the pudding. Stir well before serving. -
Serve with Toppings:
Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, granola, cacao nibs, or a drizzle of nut butter before enjoying.
Notes
- Whey casein protein powders yield a naturally thicker pudding.
- For plant-based protein powders, reduce milk to ½ cup or increase chia seeds to 4 tablespoons for a firmer texture.
- Pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving for optimal creaminess.
- Optional toppings can boost protein, fiber, and healthy fat content.
