Instructions

- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
- Add Chia Seeds (Optional): For a thicker pudding, add chia seeds now and blend again briefly to incorporate.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the blended pudding into a bowl or individual serving cups.
- Chill the Pudding: Refrigerate the pudding for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and thicken to the desired consistency.

Notes
- Use your preferred milk type to suit dietary needs or taste preferences.
- Sweetener can be adjusted or omitted based on how sweet your protein powder is.
- Adding chia seeds not only thickens the pudding but also adds fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- For vegan adaptation, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder.
- If you prefer a thinner pudding, reduce the amount of chia seeds or omit them entirely.
- Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
