Ingredients

2 tablespoon chia seeds white or black
1 tablespoon peanut butter powder
⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt or skyr (Icelandic yogurt), low fat or full fat
½ cup almond milk or milk of choice, unsweetened
1 teaspoon maple syrup or more, to taste
peanut butter and crushed peanuts optional toppings

Instructions

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, peanut butter powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
Leave on the counter for 10-15 minutes, then give it a thorough stir. This step helps distribute the chia seeds evenly and avoid clumps of seeds.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until the pudding thickens and the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
Open the lid, give the pudding a good stir, then top with a drizzle of peanut butter and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, if desired. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

Adjust the maple syrup to taste or swap with honey or another sweetener of your choice.

Almond milk can be swapped for soy, oat, coconut or dairy milk.

For a peanut butter chocolate version, stir in 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder.
