  • Total Time: 5 minutes (plus chilling time of at least 3 hours or overnight)
  • Yield: 3 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Store leftovers: Keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to four days to maintain freshness.
