Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, add chia seeds, milk, cooled brewed coffee, and protein powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and no clumps of protein powder remain.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir and Serve: After chilling, stir the pudding to break up any clumps and ensure even texture. Serve chilled as a nutritious breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Use any milk variety you prefer: dairy, almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk.
- Adjust the amount of coffee to your taste preference for stronger or milder coffee flavor.
- Make sure the coffee is cooled before mixing to prevent protein powder from clumping.
- For added sweetness, mix in a small amount of honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sweetener before refrigerating.
- Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
