Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, mix together the chia seeds, milk, brewed coffee, and protein powder until fully combined and smooth.
- Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like texture.
- Stir and Serve: After chilling, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps. Serve cold as a nutritious breakfast or snack. Optionally, top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly brewed and cooled coffee to maintain flavor and texture.
- Use your preferred milk type; almond, soy, or oat milk are great dairy-free options.
- Adjust sweetness by adding honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute if desired.
- If the pudding is too thick after refrigeration, stir in a little extra milk to reach your preferred consistency.
- Chia pudding can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
