FAQs

Can I make this pudding without protein powder?

Yes, you can omit the protein powder if desired. The pudding will still thicken and taste delicious, though it will have less protein content.

How do I know when the chia pudding is ready?

The pudding is ready when it has thickened to a gel-like consistency and the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid. This usually takes at least three hours in the fridge, but overnight is best for optimal texture.
