Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend the almond milk, protein powder, chia seeds, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until there are no lumps. If you're going for chocolate flavor, add the cocoa powder at this stage.
  2. Using a whisk or a hand mixer, mix thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well combined for a smooth texture.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual serving cups. Refrigerate for at least 3-5 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid.
  4. Once set, serve your pudding chilled. Top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or drizzle a bit of honey.

Notes

For a dairy-free pudding, substitute almond milk with coconut milk. Let it sit overnight for optimal richness. Avoid adding too much liquid initially.
