Instructions

Combine chia seeds, flaxseed, non-dairy milk, protein powder, cocoa powder and salt (and maple syrup or honey, if using) in a mason jar.
Shake everything up and refrigerate for at least an hour (ideally 2+) or overnight. If you are awake and around, shaking the pudding periodically will greatly help evenly disperse the chia seeds and improve the texture of the pudding. (I like to give it a shake about 30-45 minutes after I initially put it in the fridge. If possible, don’t skip this step because it absolutely makes a difference!)
Top chia seed pudding with desired toppings and enjoy!
