Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (about 25g) chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional for topping)
  • 1/2 banana, sliced or 1 tbsp crushed peanuts (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl or jar, whisk together almond milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, maple syrup (if using), vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds until well distributed.
  3. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thickened.
  5. Before serving, stir again and top with chocolate chips, banana slices, or crushed peanuts if desired.

Notes

  • Use almond or cashew butter instead of peanut butter for a different flavor.
  • For extra creaminess, stir in Greek yogurt before chilling.
  • Add espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
  • If the pudding is too thick, stir in a splash of milk before serving.
  • Make nut-free by using sunflower seed butter and nut-free milk alternatives.
