Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1 cup milk of choice (240g)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (45g)
  • 3 tbsp strong brewed coffee or espresso (45g)
  • 3 tbsp vanilla protein powder (21g)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sweetener of choice (22g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt (optional)

Toppings

  • 10 oz vanilla yogurt or plant-based yogurt (280g)
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder (2g)

Instructions

  1. Mix the chia pudding base: In a bowl or directly in serving containers, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, brewed coffee, sweetener, optional salt, and vanilla protein powder until well combined.
  2. Refrigerate to thicken: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to soak up the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
  3. Sweeten the yogurt: If using unsweetened yogurt, add sweetener to taste while the pudding is setting.
  4. Assemble and serve: Once the pudding is thickened, top each portion with the sweetened vanilla yogurt and dust with cocoa powder for that signature tiramisu flavor.
  5. Store leftovers: Keep any leftover pudding in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to four days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk—dairy or plant-based—to suit dietary preferences.
  • The protein powder adds creaminess and boosts protein; choose your favorite vanilla-flavored variety.
  • Adjust sweetness according to your taste by varying the amount or type of sweetener used.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount of espresso or brew a more concentrated coffee.
  • This pudding can be prepared in advance, making it a convenient grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
