1/4 cup chia seeds
02 -
2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 scoop plant-based protein powder, chocolate or vanilla

1 cup plant-based milk, such as almond or soy

3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave

Vanilla extract and salt, optional, to taste
# Steps:
01 -
In a medium bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 scoop of protein powder, and a small pinch of salt.

Slowly add 1 cup of milk while stirring. This helps to keep the mixture smooth. Make sure everything is well combined.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener. Stir until it’s fully mixed in. You can taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Place the bowl in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
