Overview
Why it works
Dessert that fits the macros. Chia pudding tastes like rich chocolate mousse and quietly delivers omega-3s and fiber.
- Chia delivers ALA omega-3 and 12g fiber for gut health.
- Plant protein boosts it from snack to muscle-building.
- Cocoa polyphenols help with recovery.
Ingredients
Ingredients · 2 servings
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 scoop chocolate plant protein
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 350 ml almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Pinch sea salt
- Raspberries to top
Instructions
Step by step
- 1
Add the chia seeds, chocolate plant protein, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract and sea salt to a jar or bowl.
- 2
Whisk everything vigorously for about 30 seconds until no cocoa lumps remain.
- 3
Wait exactly 5 minutes, then whisk again; this second whisk breaks up any chia clumps that have started to form and ensures a smooth, even pudding.
- 4
Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until the chia seeds have swelled and the mixture is thick and pudding-like.
- 5
Stir once more before serving to check texture; if it is too thick, stir in a tablespoon of almond milk.
- 6
Divide between two bowls or glasses and top with fresh raspberries.
