Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 scoop 25-30g unflavored or vanilla whey protein isolate
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored collagen peptides optional
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Sweetening & Flavoring:

  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

Optional Add-Ins (Choose 1-2):

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
  • ¼ teaspoon almond or coconut extract
  • ¼ teaspoon espresso powder

For Special Dietary Needs:

  • Dairy-free: Use coconut cream for cream cheese & heavy cream; ensure protein powder is dairy-free.
  • Nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter; substitute almond milk with coconut or flax milk.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Base Mixture

  • Whisk softened cream cheese and heavy cream in a bowl until smooth.
  • Gradually add almond milk while whisking to maintain a uniform consistency.

Step 2: Add Protein and Thickeners

  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together protein powder, chia seeds, and collagen peptides.
  • Slowly sprinkle the dry mixture into the wet ingredients while whisking continuously.
  • Whisk until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.

Step 3: Add Sweeteners and Flavorings

  • Stir in the powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt.
  • If using optional add-ins, mix them in now. Adjust sweetness if needed.

Step 4: Chill and Set

  • Transfer the pudding to serving containers, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (preferably 4+ hours).
  • Stir before serving. If too thick, add a splash of almond milk.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Portion into bowls or ramekins.
  • Garnish with berries, coconut flakes, or nuts if desired.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, blend the pudding before refrigerating.
  • The pudding thickens as it chills—adjust consistency as needed.
  • Meal prep-friendly: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
