Brownie Batter Chia Pudding

Makes 1 serving (great for meal prep)

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• 1/3 cup milk of choice

• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (optional for extra protein)

• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey

• Pinch of salt

• Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, peanut butter, chocolate chips, banana

Instructions

In a bowl or jar, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), cocoa powder, protein powder (if using), and a pinch of salt until smooth and no lumps remain. Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed. Make sure they’re well mixed so they don’t clump. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thick and pudding-like. Give it a good stir before eating. Add your favorite toppings (Greek yogurt, peanut butter, chocolate chips, banana, etc.) and enjoy!
