- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, protein powder, cocoa powder (if using), chia seeds or pudding mix, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Adjust Sweetness and Thickness: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or thickness as needed. If the pudding is too thin, let it sit for a few minutes for the chia seeds or pudding mix to thicken it further.
- Chill the Pudding: Transfer the pudding to serving bowls or jars. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow it to set and chill.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the protein pudding with fresh fruits, nuts, granola, or dark chocolate shavings for added flavor and texture. Serve cold and enjoy
