Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- 1 cup milk of choice (240g)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (45g)
- 3 tbsp strong brewed coffee or espresso (45g)
- 3 tbsp vanilla protein powder (21g)
- 1 1/2 tbsp sweetener of choice (22g)
- 1/8 tsp salt (optional)
Topping
- 10 oz vanilla yogurt or plant-based yogurt (280g)
- 1 tsp cocoa powder (2g)
Instructions
- Prepare the chia mixture: In a bowl or directly in serving containers, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, brewed coffee or espresso, sweetener, vanilla protein powder, and optional salt until well combined.
- Refrigerate to thicken: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Sweeten the yogurt: While the pudding is setting, taste your vanilla or plant-based yogurt. If unsweetened, add sweetener to your preference and mix well.
- Assemble and serve: Once the chia pudding has thickened, top each serving with the sweetened yogurt and dust with cocoa powder for a tiramisu-inspired finish.
- Store leftovers: Keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to four days to maintain freshness.
