Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 serving vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • Creamy yogurt topping:
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chia seeds and hot water. Stir and let sit for 30–45 seconds until thickened.
  2. Add Greek yogurt, protein powder, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and maple syrup to the chia mixture. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Spoon the chia pudding into a serving jar or glass. Smooth the top.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the yogurt topping ingredients (Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract).
  5. Spoon the topping over the pudding and spread evenly.
  6. Dust lightly with cocoa powder. Enjoy immediately or chill for a thicker consistency.

Notes

  • Use coconut yogurt and plant-based protein for a dairy-free version.
  • Use decaf espresso powder if serving to kids or eating late in the day.
  • Chill longer for a thicker, dessert-like texture.
  • Top with granola, cacao nibs, or chocolate chips for crunch.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
