Ingredients
- Chia seeds – 1/4 cup
- Almond milk – 1 cup unsweetened; regular milk will also do
- Whey protein – 1 scoop vanilla flavor powder from Revolution Nutrition
- Honey – 1 tablespoon, or you can also use maple syrup and adjust to your taste
- Vanilla extract – 1/2 teaspoon
- A pinch of salt
- Mixed berries – 1/2 cup (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Optional toppings – Additional berries, granola, mint leaves
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients – Start with mixing your dry ingredients like chia seeds, protein powder, and salt. Then, add each liquid ingredient, such as milk, vanilla extract, and some honey or maple syrup. Keep stirring all the while to give even mixing. Finally, keep going until your whole mix is evenly mixed and has the proper distribution of chia seeds.
- Refrigerate – Put the bowl mix in the refrigerator. Don't forget to cover it as not to mix other smells from the fridge. Let it cool overnight, or if you are craving it, for at least 2 hours. The chia seeds need time to absorb all the liquid, which makes the mix into a pudding.
- Prepare Berries – Clean and prepare the mixed berries. For larger berries like strawberries, consider slicing them.
- Assemble and Serve – Stir the pudding well and layer it with mixed berries in a serving glass or bowl once it is set. Add additional toppings, such as more berries or granola, and enjoy!
