Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to blend the ingredients.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to begin thickening, then stir again gently to prevent clumping.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- When ready to serve, give it another gentle stir to fluff it up and dish into bowls.
- Top with your favorite fruits or a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream if desired.
Notes
For extra creaminess, use coconut milk instead of almond milk. Add cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
