Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (optional, choose a Halal option)
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, cocoa powder, protein powder (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together until well incorporated.
  2. Gradually pour in the almond milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure there are no clumps.
  3. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. You'll notice the chia seeds start to absorb the liquid and thicken.
  4. Transfer the pudding to individual serving cups or a covered container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency.
  5. Once chilled, give the pudding a good stir before serving. Top with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey!

Notes

For a tropical twist, try using coconut milk! Storage: This pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and can be frozen for later use.
