Total Time
Ingredients
1/4 cup chia seeds (organic, sustainably sourced)
1 cup plant-based milk (unsweetened almond, oat, or coconut milk)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (plant-based or whey)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for added flavor)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Toppings:
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
2 tbsp dark chocolate (melted, about 1 oz)
1/2 tsp hemp seeds
Optional: Mint leaves, almond butter/nut butter, crushed almonds, (for extra texture and protein)
Instructions
Mix It:
In a mason jar or bowl, add your chia seeds, plant-based milk, cocoa powder, protein powder, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using). Stir everything together until it's smooth and the cocoa powder and protein powder are fully mixed in.Let It Set:
Cover your jar or bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight if you can. The chia seeds will soak up the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding texture.Stir It Up:
Once it’s had time to set, give it a good stir. If it’s too thick for your liking, add a splash more milk and mix it in until you get the perfect texture.Top It Off:
Spoon the pudding into bowls (or eat it straight from the jar, no shame). Top with your pomegranate seeds for a pop of color and sweetness.Drizzle the Chocolate:
Melt the dark chocolate and drizzle it on top. It adds that rich chocolate finish. If you're in the mood for extra texture, throw on a little almond butter or crushed almonds.
It’s ready to go! You can eat it right away, or store it in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
