Ingredients

▢ 3 tbsps. chia seeds black
▢ 2 tbsps. vanilla protein powder use vegan for vegan option
▢ 1 tbsp. maple syrup or honey
▢ 1 tsp. vanilla extract
▢ ¾ cup almond milk
▢ 1 whole apple cubed, save some for topping
▢ 1 tsp. cinnamon powder plus more to sprinkle on top
▢ 2 tbsps. chopped roasted pecans for garnishing

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients, except for the apples, in a small bowl or cup.
Cover the bowl with plastic food wrap and store in the fridge to thicken, for 1 hour.
Once it has thickened, stir together again, and add a little bit more milk if needed.
Peel and cube 1 apple. Add to the pudding and mix to incorporate.
Store chia pudding refrigerated overnight or at least 4 more hours covered with plastic wrap.
When ready to serve, garnish with more cubed apple. Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve.

Notes

Chia seeds don’t have any taste to them on their own and take on the flavor of the liquid it is in. In this case, your chia pudding will taste like almond thanks to the almond milk.
If you’re not a fan of almond milk, feel free to use cashew milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or dairy milk.
You can easily scale this recipe up to multiple servings.
For more savory flavor, you can cook the diced apples with the cinnamon for a couple of minutes to really bring out the apple pie flavors.
If you have apple pie spice, you can use that in addition to the cinnamon!
