Servings: 4
Calories: 277kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups almond milk unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- a pinch of sea salt
- ½ cup natural vanilla whey isolate 45g
- ⅔ cup chia seeds 128g
Instructions
- Put chia seeds in a bowl or food storage container (at least 1 quart in capacity). Set aside.
- Add vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and whey powder to the almond milk, and blend until combined.
- Pour mixture over chia seeds, and stir.
- Let pudding sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. If you can, stir every 10 minutes (this helps avoid clumps of chia seeds).
- Refrigerate and enjoy!
Notes
A note about substitutions: You can substitute vanilla casein protein powder for the whey, but you will need more almond milk. I would not use vegan protein powders in this recipe because they would give a chalky consistency to the pudding.
