½ cup unsweetened milk of choice (I've used whole cow's milk and unsweetened almond milk, but I prefer unsweetened flaxmilk + protein which is linked in the text above)
2 Tbl chia seeds
1 Tbl unsweetened shredded coconut
¼ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
large pinch of ground cardamom
large pinch of ground nutmeg
large pinch of ground black pepper
1-2 tsp of maple syrup (depending on desired sweetness. I prefer 1 tsp.)
Optional:
2 Tbl unsweetened protein powder (I use the collagen powder linked in the text above, but a plant-based protein powder will also work.) If you're adding the protein powder, you'll want to add an additional ¼ cup milk.
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a container with a well-fitting lid.
Shake vigorously until all ingredients are combined.
You may need to stir the mixture with a spoon to ensure the chia seeds aren't clumped together or stuck to the bottom of the container.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
The soaked pudding will last in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to five days.
Bulk preparation: This recipe can be multiplied numerous times to make larger batches.
