- Almond butter: adds healthy fats for satiety and gives the smoothie a richer flavor
- Cacao powder: a chocolate superfood that gives this smoothie the decadent taste
- Protein Powder: I use chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- Milk: can use any plant-based milk such as almond, coconut, or cashew milk
- Cherries: you can top with any fruit or toppings you like but fresh or frozen cherries goes well with the chocolate chia pudding
Recipe Tips:
- This recipe is for one breakfast-size portion or two snack-size portions
- I like to mix it up and do 1 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds and 1 1/2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- Adjust the liquid to chia seed ratio depending on your preferred consistency. If you like it thicker add 3/4 cup of milk if you like it thinner try 1 cup or add milk to your desired consistency
- Easily double, triple, or quadruple the recipe to make enough for a week of breakfast
- You can swap the protein powder for 1 scoop of collagen peptides and 1/2 scoop of protein
- Don’t like the texture? Make the chia seed pudding in the blender, let thicken, then blend to get a whipped mousse-like texture that is super creamy
