Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk Use any milk you prefer, but almond keeps it light.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder This is where the rich chocolate flavor comes from.
  • 1/2 cup protein powder Chocolate-flavored recommended for extra indulgence; vanilla works too.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey For a touch of natural sweetness. Adjust based on your taste preference.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds depth to the chocolate flavor.
Optional Toppings
  • fresh berries For a festive touch.
  • nuts For added texture.
  • whipped coconut cream Also adds a delicate sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, protein powder, and salt to avoid clumps.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well blended.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring constantly until the pudding thickens and reaches a creamy texture.
  4. Transfer the mixture to serving dishes or a larger bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  5. After chilling, stir the pudding well, add your desired toppings, and serve.

Notes

For lower-calorie, consider using stevia or a sugar alternative. Add espresso powder for a mocha twist, or cinnamon for a warm flavor.
