Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
- Sweetener to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chocolate protein powder, almond milk, and cocoa powder into a small bowl or a shaker cup.
- Whisk or shake vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Ensure no lumps remain.
- If using chia seeds, stir them in now.
- Taste the pudding and add your preferred sweetener if needed. Mix again.
- If you prefer a thicker texture, stir in the chia seeds and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately for a soft pudding texture, or chill for 15 minutes for a firmer, post-workout snack consistency.
Notes
- For an extra decadent, low sugar dessert, use a casein-based protein powder as it thickens better than whey.
- If you want a banana protein pudding variation, substitute the cocoa powder with 1/4 cup of mashed banana and use vanilla protein powder.
- This recipe is easily scalable for meal prep; simply multiply the ingredients.
