1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the cocoa powder, protein powder, instant coffee granules, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well to avoid lumps.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking constantly until smooth. This is your pudding base, so no lumps, please!
Heat the Mixture
Transfer the combined mixture to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. It’s a workout for your arm, but worth it!
