Chocolate chia pudding 2 ways
A high-protein, fiber-rich, filling, and healthy snack that tastes like dessert.
Depending on whether or not you like the ‘pop,’ or the ‘crunch,’ of chia seed, we have two ways to prepare them. Ingredients in both are the same, we’ve just mixed one traditionally and blended the other. Regardless of which way you prepare them, chia seeds are a phenomenal source of protein and plant-based fiber. Soaking them for at least 8 hours, or overnight, gives you the benefit of making the fiber more easily digestible.
Chia seeds make for a great, on-the-go breakfast or snack and can even be frozen if you want to increase the batch size to make a larger quantity.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups Almond milk
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp Organic Maple Syrup

4 scoops of Chocolate Collagen Protein Powder
1 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
1/2 cup chia seeds

Traditional Method
Combine all ingredients in a meal prep container with a lid. Shake to incorporate and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

Blender Method
Put all of the ingredients into the container of your high-powered blender.
Blend starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, until the mixture is smooth.
