Ingredients
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1 1/4 cup coconut milk shaken from 1 can / milk of choice
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese or plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp date syrup or pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 medjool dates chopped
Salted Caramel
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter and/or cashew butter
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 heaping scoop collagen peptides - optional but it adds a tasteless gooeyness to the caramel!
- pinch of sea salt
2 tbsp melted dark chocolate
Instructions
- Blend together pudding ingredients, minus chia seeds
- Pour into a large bowl with chia seeds
- Set aside for 15 minutes, whisking every 5 minutes
- This helps keep the seeds from sinking into the bottom once poured into single serve jars
- Pour into jars and refrigerate at least 2 hours
- Make caramel by whisking collagen with melted coconut oil, then whisk in remaining ingredients
- Can top over chia pudding when ready to serve, or prep the jars in full with the caramel before sitting to refrigerate
- Optionally, top with melted dark chocolate, crushed peanuts, and flakey sea salt as well
- Store in the fridge up to 4 days
