Equipment

Blender
Glass storing container
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

1 cup oat milk (or your favorite plant-based milk)
2 ½ tablespoon chia seeds
1 scoop protein powder I used the plant-based vanilla protein powder from Orgain
3 tablespoon raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
2 tablespoon maple syrup or to taste, depending on your protein powder

Instructions

Start by pouring the milk into your blender, then add the chia seeds, cacao powder, protein powder and maple syrup.
Blend until smooth and creamy and take a break to scrape the bottom and walls of your blender to make sure everything is incorporated.
Transfer to a glass storing container and chill for one hour (or overnight) before serving with your favorite garnishes.

Notes

Pour the milk first into the blender before adding the rest of the ingredients, which can help prevent the chia seeds from sticking to the bottom.
Plan ahead and make the pudding the night before you need it so it has plenty of time to thicken.
Adjust the flavoring ingredients to your taste, especially the maple syrup. If your protein powder is pretty sweet already, then it might not need much more sweetener!
If the pudding turns too thick after a few days in the fridge, then simply add a little more milk and whisk well.
