Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 scoop protein powder (Truvani recommended)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 ¼ cups nut milk (almond, cashew, or your choice)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Toppings

  • Hemp hearts, to taste
  • Ground flax seeds, to taste
  • Almond butter, to taste
  • Fresh berries, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add the chia seeds, protein powder, vanilla extract, water, nut milk, and sea salt. Whisk thoroughly until the chia seeds are evenly dispersed and no lumps remain.
  2. Rest and Whisk: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to start absorbing the liquid. After 5 minutes, whisk again to break up any forming clumps. Repeat this resting and whisking twice more to achieve a smooth, lump-free pudding texture.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to let the pudding fully thicken and develop its creamy consistency.
  4. Add Toppings: When ready to serve, top the pudding with ground flax seeds, hemp hearts, a dollop of almond butter, fresh berries, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired for extra flavor and nutrition.
  5. Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy your wholesome, protein-packed chia pudding.

Notes

  • For best texture, whisk the pudding multiple times during the initial setting period.
  • Use nut milk of choice depending on dietary preferences or allergies.
  • The protein powder can be substituted with any preferred flavor or type.
  • Adjust toppings according to your taste and dietary needs.
  • This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
