Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup chia seeds
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

Whisk the mixture thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes to ensure the chia seeds and protein powder are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into a jar or airtight container.

Step 5

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully expand and the mixture to thicken.

Step 6

Before serving, stir the pudding to redistribute any settled seeds.

Step 7

Portion the pudding into bowls or jars, serving approximately 1/2 cup per person.

Step 8

Top with fresh berries and sliced almonds, if desired, before serving.
