Instructions

Combine Greek Yogurt and Protein Powder: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the protein powder until the powder is fully incorporated, forming a smooth base.
Add Chia Seeds: Stir the chia seeds evenly throughout the yogurt and protein mixture to provide texture and nutrition.
Stir in Almond Milk: Gradually pour in the almond milk while stirring to achieve a creamy, smooth consistency.
Incorporate Almond Butter: Add the almond butter and mix thoroughly to blend its rich flavor and healthy fats into the pudding.
Add Vanilla Extract: Drizzle in the vanilla extract and stir it in until fully combined, enhancing the flavor profile.
Sweeten with Honey: Stir the honey into the mixture evenly, balancing the taste with natural sweetness.
Mix in Cinnamon: Sprinkle the cinnamon over the pudding and stir until it is well distributed for a warm spice note.
Fold in Oats: Gently stir in the oats without overmixing to maintain their texture and body.
Cover and Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours, preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds and oats to soften and flavors to meld.
Final Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the pudding one last gentle stir to ensure even consistency. Serve in individual bowls or cups and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Chilling time of at least two hours is key for optimal texture, but overnight refrigeration yields the best results.
You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk depending on preference.
Use your favorite protein powder flavor (vanilla or unflavored work best) to complement the pudding’s taste.
This pudding serves well as a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert option.
For added crunch, top with nuts or fresh berries before serving.
