Instructions
Creating High Protein Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results every time:
1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
2. Whisk Thoroughly: Whisk the ingredients together until they’re well combined and there are no lumps.
3. Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. This helps the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken.
4. Stir Again: Give the mixture another good stir to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
5. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you prefer.
6. Serve: Once thickened, give the pudding a final stir and divide it into serving bowls or jars.
