Description

Decadent tasting chocolate chia pudding with Greek yogurt for a protein boost, prepped in 5 minutes and ready to eat in 30! It has a light, almost whipped texture and the rich chocolate flavor is SPOT ON. A super satisfying no-cook breakfast thanks to all that filling fiber. It's giving chocolate cheesecake! 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened soy milk (or higher protein milk of choice, like dairy milk)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (I like 2%)
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, more to taste
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder
  • For topping: chopped strawberries, cacao nibs, peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Place milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. Add chia seeds and cacao powder. Whisk until very well combined. Taste and add more maple syrup if you want it sweeter. 
  3. Let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes then whisk again. Portion into 2-3 containers. Refrigerate for another 20 minutes and enjoy or refrigerate for 4 hours to get it even thicker. When ready to eat, enjoy topped with strawberries, cacao nibs, and a drizzle of PB.

Notes

To make it even more filling, you could layer it with more Greek yogurt and make parfaits, yum! Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
