Made with just a handful of ingredients, this high-protein chocolate chia seed pudding without protein powder is as decadent as brownie batter. You can whip up this recipe in just 5 minutes, and it'll be ready for you when you wake up! The key is using vanilla Greek yogurt that's thick enough to suspend the chia seeds so you don't have to stir it again and sweet enough to mellow out any tang.

Add the ¼ c cocoa powder, 6 tbsp maple syrup, Pinch of sea salt, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 c plain non-fat greek yogurt, and ½ c milk of choice to a 32 oz jar or bowl. Mix until well combined. You can also blend everything together for a more mousse-like texture.
Stir in the 1/3 c chia seeds until they are evenly mixed, and then store in the fridge overnight. If you check on it and notice the chia seeds are still sinking, give it another shake or stir 2 hours after you first put it in the fridge and/or add another 2 tbsp of chia seeds for a thicker texture. I like to shake the jar really well. Then enjoy!
