Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor recommended)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, add 3 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of cooled brewed coffee, and 1 scoop of protein powder. Stir thoroughly to ensure the protein powder is fully dissolved and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
  3. Serve: After chilling, stir the pudding again to break up any clumps. Serve cold as a nutritious breakfast or snack. Optionally, top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

  • Use cooled coffee to prevent cooking the chia seeds and protein powder.
  • For creamier texture, use whole milk or a creamy plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
  • Adjust the amount of coffee and milk to taste depending on how strong you want the coffee flavor.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pudding, add a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
  • This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
