High Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding
Looking for a dessert that’s as nutritious as it is delicious? Meet your new favorite: High Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding. This no-cook recipe checks all the boxes—high in protein, low in sugar, dairy-free, gluten-free, and indulgent.
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1–2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey, your choice)
1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (enhances the chocolate and peanut butter flavors)
- Use a blender for ultra-smooth texture: If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend the mixture before chilling.
- Use quality cocoa powder: The better the cocoa, the richer the chocolate flavor.
- Let it sit overnight: Chilling longer gives the chia seeds more time to fully absorb the liquid.
- Shake it up: If storing in a mason jar, just shake it up instead of stirring—it’s mess-free and easy!
