Equipment
- Small bowl or jar
- Whisk or spoon
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, or coconut)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a jar or small bowl, whisk the plant-based milk and protein powder until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Stir in the chia seeds and ground cinnamon, mixing thoroughly so the seeds are evenly distributed.
- After 10 minutes, stir again to prevent clumping and ensure even thickening.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick, creamy, and pudding-like.
- Stir before serving. Add a splash of milk if too thick and top with fruit, nuts, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
For best texture, refrigerate overnight. If the pudding becomes too thick, stir in 1–2 tablespoons extra milk before serving.
