Ingredients
  

Chia Base
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds black or white
  • 0.5 cup milk almond, oat, or dairy
  • 1 shot espresso cooled (approx 30ml)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder unsweetened
Cream Layer
  • 0.75 cup Greek yogurt plain, thick
  • 1 tsp maple syrup optional
  • 0.5 scoop vanilla protein powder optional, for extra protein
Topping
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder for dusting

Equipment

  • Glass Jar or Tumbler
  • Small whisk
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. In a jar, combine chia seeds, milk, espresso, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the first tsp of cocoa powder.
  2. Whisk vigorously to ensure seeds don't stick together. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until the mixture has thickened into a pudding.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the sweetener (and protein powder if using) until smooth.
  5. Spoon the yogurt mixture gently over the set chia pudding.
  6. Dust the top generously with cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

Use decaf coffee for an evening treat.
