Description
Creamy, coffee-flavored chia pudding that blends bold flavor with simple prep. A quick make-ahead breakfast or snack packed with healthy energy.
Ingredients
1/4 cup Chi seeds
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Instructions
Combine Ingredients
Add all ingredients to a bowl or jar. Mix instant coffee or cocoa with a bit of milk first if needed.
Stir everything until well combined. Let it sit for 10 minutes and stir again.
Chill the Pudding
Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or overnight until thick.
Serve
Stir before serving. Add more milk if needed. Top with fruit, nuts, granola, or yogurt.
Notes
The Greek yogurt is optional but adds creaminess and protein. You can also substitute protein powder. 1/2 cup will be sufficient.
For a smoother pudding, blend after it sets.
To make it thicker, add more chia seeds and wait an extra hour.
To thin it, stir in more milk.
Try espresso for stronger flavor or decaf for less caffeine.
If you choose to include the “Protein Boost” optional add-ins (like Greek yogurt and protein powder), the nutritional values will change significantly and become more of a high-protein version which contains 26 grams of protein and 7 grams of Fiber.
