Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 scoop (about 30 grams) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor recommended)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, pour in the chia seeds, milk, brewed coffee, and protein powder. Stir well until the protein powder is fully dissolved and all ingredients are combined uniformly.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like consistency.
  3. Serve: Once thickened, stir the pudding again to break up any clumps and serve cold. Optionally, top with nuts, fruits, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use cooled coffee to prevent gelatinization issues with chia seeds during mixing.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding a natural sweetener if desired, such as honey or maple syrup.
  • Choose your favorite type of milk—dairy or plant-based—to cater to dietary preferences.
  • This pudding can be prepared the night before for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
