Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or high-protein plant-based)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
  • Fresh berries
  • Nut butter
  • Granola

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Spoon
  • Jar or Container
  • Refrigerator
  • Blender (optional)

Method
 

  1. Whisk chia seeds, milk, protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Ensure powder fully dissolves to avoid grainy texture.
  2. Let mixture rest for a few minutes, then stir again thoroughly to prevent clumping and uneven thickening.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight until thick, creamy, and well set.
  4. Stir before serving. Adjust consistency with a splash of milk. Add toppings and serve chilled.

Notes

Adjust chia ratio for thicker or softer texture. Blend mixture for smoother consistency if desired. Avoid freezing, as protein texture may separate. Layer carefully for presentation. Customize flavors with cocoa, spices, or extracts. Store covered in refrigerator up to four days for best quality.
