Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 tbsp protein powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ cup fruit for topping
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of chia seeds and 2 cups of coconut milk. Stir well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the milk.
- Add 2 tablespoons of protein powder to the mixture. Use a whisk or a fork to thoroughly mix the protein powder into the coconut milk and chia seeds until there are no clumps.
- Sweeten the mixture by adding 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Stir again to combine all the ingredients, ensuring that the maple syrup is evenly incorporated.
- Once the mixture is well combined, cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell.
- After 10 minutes, give the mixture a good stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds that may have formed. This will help achieve a smooth pudding consistency.
- Transfer the chia pudding into individual serving bowls or jars. You can layer them if desired, or simply divide the mixture evenly between the containers.
- Top each serving with ½ cup of your choice of fruit. Fresh fruits like berries, sliced bananas, or mango work wonderfully. Feel free to get creative with your toppings!
- For an extra touch, consider adding a sprinkle of nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut on top of the fruit for added texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. The pudding can be enjoyed chilled and will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
