Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 scoop chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

2 tbsp chia seeds

2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey, for sweetness)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: fresh berries, nuts, shredded coconut, or nut butter

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift together the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. This helps to break up any lumps and ensures an even texture.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until it is fully incorporated. Make sure there are no lumps.

        Thicken the Pudding: Once mixed, let the pudding sit for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture. Stir occasionally.

          Chill: Transfer the pudding into individual serving bowls or a large container. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavors and texture.

            Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Top with your choice of fresh berries, a sprinkle of nuts, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of nut butter for added flavor and crunch.
