Calories: 315kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 30 g vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk and protein powder until the powder is fully dissolved and no lumps remain.
  • Add the chia seeds, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the milk mixture.
  • Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and do not clump at the bottom.
  • Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture into individual jars and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight, until the pudding has thickened to a gelatinous consistency.
  • Stir the pudding once more before serving to redistribute any settled ingredients; add a splash of milk if a thinner consistency is preferred.
