Ingredients
⅓ cup (64 g) chia seeds
1.5 cups (360 ml) almond milk or milk of choice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup (23 g) chocolate protein powder
Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
1. Place chia seeds in a bowl or jar.
2. Blend the milk, protein powder, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
3. Pour the liquid mixture over the chia seeds and stir thoroughly.

Notes
Use any milk you prefer. Almond, oat, soy, and dairy all work well.
If using plant-based protein, you may need more liquid to keep the texture smooth.
Add cocoa powder, cinnamon, or natural sweeteners as desired.
