Ingredients

Chia Pudding:

2 cups almond milk (I used Malk Organics)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 teaspoon cacao powder
2 tablespoons ground flax
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons honey (optional)
Pinch of salt
6 tablespoons chia seeds

Serving Suggestions:

¼ cup coconut yogurt
A handful of fresh fruit, such as bananas or berries
2 tablespoons almond butter
2 tablespoons cacao nibs

Instructions

Add the nut milk, protein powder, cacao powder, flax, vanilla extract, honey (if using), and salt to a blender and blend until well combined. Note, you don’t have to use a blender here, but I find that it results in a smoother chia pudding.
Add 3 tablespoons of chia seeds to 2 jars and pour half of the chocolate protein mixture into each jar.
Whisk until no lumps of chia seeds remain, and then let the mixture settle for 5 minutes. Whisk again until no clumps remain.
Cover and store in the fridge overnight or for at least 3 hours.
When ready to eat, top with coconut yogurt, fresh fruit, almond butter, and cacao nibs. Enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to make a double batch of this for a week’s worth of breakfasts. This chia pudding will last in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just give it a good stir and add the garnishes before enjoying it.
