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)

Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or directly into your serving container, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, brewed coffee or espresso, vanilla protein powder, sweetener, and optional salt until thoroughly mixed.
  2. Refrigerate to Thicken: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like consistency.
  3. Prepare Yogurt: If you are using unsweetened yogurt, sweeten it to taste while the pudding is chilling to ensure the perfect balance of flavors.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Once the chia pudding is set, top each serving with a generous layer of yogurt, then dust with cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu flavor.
  5. Store Leftovers: Keep any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to four days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk and yogurt to suit dietary preferences, such as dairy, almond, soy, or coconut.
  • Adjust sweetness as desired by experimenting with different sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount of brewed coffee or espresso slightly.
  • This recipe is best served chilled and can be prepared the night before for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, briefly blend the mixture before refrigerating, but be aware it may change the chia seed consistency.
