Instructions
Make the protein shake as normal, with your choice of milk and protein powder.
If using unflavored protein powder, add both flavor and sweetener. If using flavored protein powder, you can add in extra flavor, but sweetener might not be necessary.
Add the chia seeds - if your protein shake is thicker, you can add less, if not add more. Mix the chia seeds very well into the shake, until all seeds are coated in liquid and not sticking together. It's easier if you use a small whisk.
Let the chia swell for about 5 minutes, then mix it again to ensure no clumps form.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to thicken, or overnight.
Optionally, add toppings before serving - See post for ideas!
Notes
The protein powder: It can be whey (concentrate or isolate), pea, beef, hemp. Casein will make for a really thick pudding. Any protein powder that you enjoy taking in shake form will work.The low-carb milk: You can use almond, macadamia, hemp or flax milk, or a couple of tablespoons of whipping cream in water. Coconut milk or coconut cream diluted in water are great for the coconut flavor pudding, but can also be used together in other flavors.If the pudding separates in the fridge, just stir it up before serving.Nutritional information is shown for a pudding with whey isolate, macadamia milk and matcha powder.
