Instructions: Pumpkin Mocha Chia Protein Powder Pudding Recipe
- Add chia seeds, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and protein powder to a large bowl.
- Whisk together until combined.
- Take 1/3 of mixture and put into a smaller bowl to make the chocolate layer.
For the chocolate layer:
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave.
- Whisk in melted chocolate chips and instant espresso powder.
- In the other bowl, which will be the pumpkin layer, add canned pumpkin, cinnamon, and maple syrup.
- Place both bowls into the fridge for 4-5 hours, or overnight to let the chia seeds soak up the liquid and thicken to make the pudding.
- Once chilled and thick, layer chocolate mixture evenly on the bottom of the 4 small mason jars.
- Then add the pumpkin layer evenly on top of each.
- Top with some extra chocolate chips and enjoy!
