Dissolve the Protein Powder: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the milk and protein powder until smooth and no clumps remain.
Combine the Base: Add the chia seeds, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until fully combined.
Stir Twice: Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps so the chia seeds gel evenly.
Chill: Cover with a lid and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust & serve: Stir before serving. If it's too thick, add a splash of milk and stir again. Top with additional yogurt, berries, nut butter, granola, or sliced banana if desired just before eating.

Storage: Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days in an airtight sealed jar (3–4 days if fruit is layered in).
Texture: Chia pudding thickens as it chills. If it’s too thick when serving, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of plant milk to loosen.
Make-ahead: For meal prep, portion into jars and wait to add toppings until the day you eat it to keep them fresh and crunchy.
Adjust consistency: For a thicker pudding, use ¾ cup milk. For a lighter, looser pudding, use up to 1 cup.
Protein note: Protein content will vary based on the brand you use. This version contains 17 grams of protein per serving.
Topping ideas: Banana slices, berries, mixed berry sauce, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs for a little crunch.
