Ingredients
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1-2 tbsp sweetener of choice (e.g., erythritol, stevia, maple syrup, honey), to taste
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)
- Optional: 1 tbsp chia seeds (for extra thickness and nutrients)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, sweetener of choice, and pinch of salt (if using). Whisk well to break up any clumps.
- Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Stir in the vanilla extract. If using chia seeds, stir them in now.
- Pour the mixture into a serving dish, jar, or ramekin.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to thicken. If you used chia seeds, it will thicken even more.
- Serve chilled with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, a sprinkle of chocolate chips, or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream. Enjoy your healthy, satisfying treat!
