Ingredients

• 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.125 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla protein powder. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the protein powder has completely dissolved.

Step 2

Add the plain Greek yogurt, instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the bowl. Whisk again until well combined and smooth.

Step 3

Stir in the chia seeds, allowing them to disperse throughout the mixture evenly. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to begin absorbing some of the liquid.

Step 4

If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips gently.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into individual serving containers such as ramekins or small bowls.

Step 6

Cover each container with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the pudding to set and the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Before serving, give each pudding a gentle stir to re-integrate any settled ingredients, creating a mocha swirl effect.

Step 8

Garnish with additional chocolate chips or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra touch of decadence, if desired.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious, high-protein mocha swirl dessert!
