A delicious blend of rich cocoa and nourishing protein—perfect for healthy snacking or dessert.

Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop protein powder (any flavor)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 1–2 tsp natural sweetener (like honey or maple syrup)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Start by mixing the cocoa powder and protein powder in a bowl. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring steadily to get a silky, lump-free base. Add the sweetener and vanilla extract, then blend everything thoroughly. Cover your bowl and place it in the fridge for at least two hours so the chia seeds can absorb moisture and the pudding firms up. When ready, stir it once more and enjoy! Feel free to top with crunchy nuts, sliced fruit, or even a dollop of yogurt.
Tips
Starting with cold milk helps achieve a velvety smooth pudding, while using warm milk can give you a comforting and rich treat—just wait to add chia seeds until the mixture cools down to maintain the best texture. Adding a spoonful of nut butter before refrigeration can boost healthy fats and add creaminess. To keep your pudding interesting and flavorful, try sprinkling toppings like shredded coconut, cacao nibs, or fresh fruit.
