Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, add the chia seeds, milk, cooled brewed coffee, and protein powder. Ensure the coffee is cooled to prevent clumping of chia seeds and protein powder.
- Mix Thoroughly: Whisk or stir the mixture vigorously until the protein powder is fully incorporated and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let the pudding chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir Before Serving: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth texture. Enjoy it cold as a refreshing and protein-packed treat.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of coffee based on your preference for coffee strength.
- Use your favorite type of milk, such as almond, oat, or regular cow’s milk, to customize flavor and dietary needs.
- For added sweetness, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or stevia before refrigerating.
- This pudding can be prepared the night before for a grab-and-go breakfast.
- Optional toppings include fresh berries, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.
