Ingredients

2 1/2 cups almond milk or coconut or hemp milk
1 cup Greek yogurt unsweetened/unflavored
40 grams whey protein isolate (unflavored/unsweetened)
20 grams collagen optional
1/3 cup sweetener allulose, monk fruit sweetener, maple syrup, honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

In a large bowl (or blender), add milk, yogurt, sweetener, protein powder, collagen (if using), cacao powder, and vanilla. Optionally add nut butter. Whisk to combine.
Add the chia seeds, and whisk to combine. Allow the mixture to sit about 5 minutes.
Whisk the chia pudding again. Allow it to sit 5 minutes. Continue with this process, whisking about every 5 minutes, until the mixture has begun to thicken. This prevents the chia seeds from clumping.
Refrigerate the chia seed pudding for at least 1 hour, up to 5 days. It will continue to thicken as it chills.
