Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, or coffee-flavored)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ½ cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional for sweetness) Can be substituted with unsweetened cocoa powder for fewer calories.
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Can substitute with almond extract for a twist.
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cooled coffee, protein powder, chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. If the mixture feels too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Chilling
  1. Pour the mixture into serving bowls or jars and cover them. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the chia seeds to expand and thicken the pudding.
Serving
  1. Once chilled, give the pudding a good stir and serve. Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of almond butter for extra flavor.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For meal prep, consider making a double batch for quick grab-and-go snacks. Freezing is possible, but the texture may change when thawed.
