High Protein Chocolate Chia Pudding

Equipment

4 16oz glass containers

Ingredients

2 cups canned coconut milk
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
4 scoops grass fed chocolate protein powder i like amy meyers paleo chocolate protein with 20g protein per scoop
12 tablespoons chia seeds
4 tablespoons hemp seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch sea salt
4 teaspoons maple syrup optional, for more sweetness

Instructions

Add the coconut milk, almond milk and chocolate protein powder to a blender and blend on high until smooth.
To 4 (16oz) containers, add 3 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon maple syrup (if using) and 1 cup of chocolate protein milk to each container. Whisk thoroughly until all the chia is combined.
Set aside on the countertop until the chia seeds expand and the pudding thickens, about 20 minutes.
Now place in the fridge until ready to eat! Top with anything you like (coconut yogurt, berries, nuts and nut butter) or eat plain!

Notes

The texture of the pudding changes if you place it in the fridge to congeal after making. I suggest letting the chia pudding rest on the countertop until the chia pudding is set and then refrigerating until ready to eat!
