Creating Chocolate Protein Pudding is simple! Just follow these easy steps:

1. Mix Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the unsweetened almond milk, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, mashed banana, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
2. Blend it Together: Use a whisk or a blender to mix until smooth and well combined. If using a blender, make sure to scrape down the sides for an even mix.
3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup or honey.
4. Chill in the Fridge: Pour the mixture into serving bowls or jars. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, allowing the pudding to thicken as the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
5. Serve: Once set, give it a good stir before serving. Top with your favorite ingredients such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.

This process will yield creamy and rich Chocolate Protein Pudding that will keep you energized throughout the morning!
