Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding

  • 1 cup milk of choice (240g)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (45g)
  • 3 tbsp strong brewed coffee or espresso (45g)
  • 3 tbsp vanilla protein powder (21g)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sweetener of choice (22g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt (optional)

Topping

  • 10 oz vanilla yogurt or plant-based yogurt (280g)
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder (2g)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl or serving container, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, brewed coffee, sweetener, optional salt, and vanilla protein powder until well combined.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a thick, gel-like pudding.
  3. Prepare Yogurt: If using unsweetened yogurt, sweeten it to taste while the pudding chills.
  4. Assemble: Once the chia pudding has set, top each serving with a generous spoonful of the sweetened vanilla yogurt.
  5. Finish and Serve: Dust the top of each portion with cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu flavor. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk (dairy or plant-based) depending on dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the sweetener amount to your liking or use natural options like honey or maple syrup.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, consider using espresso shots instead of brewed coffee.
  • This pudding is best enjoyed chilled and thickened, so be sure to refrigerate long enough for the chia seeds to gel.
  • Make-ahead friendly and perfect for busy mornings or healthy snacks.
