Ingredients

3 tbsp chia seeds
2 tsp cacao powder
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 cup almond milk
2-3 tbsp coconut yoghurt or Greek yoghurt
1 tbsp cacao nibs
other toppings of choice e.g. sliced fruit, coconut flakes, nuts, seeds

Instructions

Place chia seeds, cacao, protein powder and cinnamon in a small jar (or other sealable container).
Pour in the almond milk. If using a jar, screw on the lid now and shake vigorously until ingredients are combined. Alternatively, whisk everything together with a fork.
Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes, then shake/whisk again to remove any lumps.
Placed sealed jar/container in the fridge and allow to sit for at least 3 hours until the seeds have soaked up all the liquid and you have a thick pudding. (I prefer to leave mine overnight).
Serve topped with yoghurt, cacao nibs and other toppings of choice.

Notes

*You can use a unflavoured protein powder in this recipe. To replicate the sweet vanilla flavour, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract plus a teaspoon of sweetener such as maple syrup, honey, rice malt syrup (or try a few drops of stevia).
