Creamy Chocolate Protein Chia Pudding Recipe
Meet your new make-ahead breakfast that tastes like dessert: creamy chocolate chia pudding with 35g protein and 15g fiber! Made with just 5 staple ingredients - the result is silky, spoonable pudding with rich chocolate flavor, a boost of protein, and fiber-packed chia to keep you satisfied and full.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Optional Topping
- 2 tbsp plain greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- In a jar or bowl, whisk the almond milk and Greek yogurt. You can also use an immersion blender to make it extra smooth.
- In the container you’ll store your chia pudding in, mix together the protein powder, chia seeds, and cocoa powder. Slowly pour the milk mixture in, stirring well. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then whisk once more to keep the chia from clumping.
- Optional step: Melt the dark chocolate and stir it into 2 tbsp Greek yogurt. Spoon over the pudding after it’s sat for 10 minutes.
- Cover in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, but overnight for best results, to give it the thickest, creamiest pudding texture.
Notes
For a completely smooth, mousse-like texture like with my chocolate protein blended overnight oats, blend the base after the 10-minute rest, then chill. This will help if you aren’t a fan of the texture of chia pudding.
