Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, protein powder, and your chosen sweetener. Stir until well mixed, ensuring there are no dry lumps left behind.
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid. After that, stir again to break up any clumps that may have formed.
Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 120 minutes or preferably overnight for the best pudding consistency.

Notes

For more flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract. You can also customize toppings based on your preferences.
