Chocolate Chia Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
ΒΌ cup chia seeds
02 -
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
03 -
1 scoop plant-based protein powder
04 -
1 cup plant-based milk (soy or almond)
05 -
3 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup
06 -
Vanilla extract (if you want, to taste)
07 -
Tiny bit of salt (if you want)
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a medium bowl and stir together the chia seeds, cocoa powder, and just a tiny bit of salt.
02 -
Add your plant-based milk bit by bit while you keep stirring. This stops lumps and makes everything nice and smooth.
03 -
Stir in the agave nectar or maple syrup until it's all mixed up. Give it a taste and add more sweetener if you want.
04 -
Put a lid or some plastic wrap on the bowl and stick it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or leave it overnight. The chia seeds need time to soak up the liquid and get pudding-thick.
05 -
Before you eat it, give everything a good stir to break up any clumps that might have formed.
06 -
You can eat it plain or top it with some fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate bits for extra crunch and flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
Your pudding gets thicker the longer you keep it in the fridge.
02 -
If you want it super smooth, you can put it in a blender after it's set.
