Instructions
- In a #[Mixing Bowl] or mason jar, whisk together the @[Unsweetened Almond Milk], @[Greek Yogurt], @[Maple Syrup], @[Vanilla Extract], and a pinch of @[Fine Sea Salt] until smooth. If using @[Vanilla Protein Powder], add it now and whisk vigorously until fully dissolved with no lumps.
- Add the @[Chia Seeds] and stir well to combine. Let the mixture sit for ~[5 minutes], then stir again — this second stir is key to preventing clumping and ensuring the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Cover the jar or #[Mixing Bowl] and refrigerate for ~[at least 4 hours], or overnight (up to ~[24 hours]). The pudding is ready when it has thickened to a creamy, spoonable consistency. If it's too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of @[Unsweetened Almond Milk] to loosen.
- When ready to serve, give the pudding a good stir. Divide into two jars or bowls and top with fresh @[Mixed Berries], a drizzle of @[Almond Butter], @[Unsweetened Shredded Coconut], and @[Hemp Seeds]. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to eat.
