- ½ cup chia seeds
- ½ cup hemp hearts
- 2 cups milk of choice 2%, almond, oat, etc.
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Add the chia seeds, hemp hearts, and milk to the bucket of your blender. Let it sit for 15 minutes to thicken.
Then add the rest of the ingredients to the blender. Starting on low and increasing speed as needed, blend until smooth.
Transfer to 4 small jars, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. When ready to eat, grab a jar and top with whipped cream, berries, cacao nibs, honey, nut butter, or any other toppings. Enjoy!
- Protein: I use whey chocolate protein. You can use a plant-based protein powder if you prefer. You can also use any other flavor protein powder and omit the cocoa powder.
- Vegan: Use a plant-based milk and protein powder.
- Toppings: Top with your favorite fresh or frozen berries, nut butter, whipped cream, honey, cacao nibs, etc.
- Storage: Chia puddings will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Meal prep for the week ahead!
