Ingredients
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp peppermint extract
Toppings
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract until smooth. Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
- To finish, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil over medium heat in a double boiler or in the microwave. Spoon the melted chocolate over the chia pudding to create a shell, then sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies. Return to the fridge for 10–15 minutes to let the chocolate set, then crack into it and enjoy!
