What You Need

To whip up this tasty vegan treat, you’ll want some simple ingredients. Start with chia seeds, as they are the base of this pudding.

You’ll need silken tofu. It helps create that creamy texture and adds extra protein.

Don’t forget chocolate protein powder. It adds flavor and a protein kick. If you’re not using chocolate protein powder, you can use cocoa powder (just know you’ll have less protein).

Blueberries are next. Fresh or frozen, they give a sweet and tart twist.

You’ll also need a bit of plant-based milk. Almond, soy or oat milk works well.

Lastly, for sweetness, a splash of maple syrup is perfect.

With these ingredients on hand, you’ll be ready to make a delicious pudding!

Tool Requirements

You’ll need a few basic tools to whip up this tasty high-protein chocolate blueberry chia seed pudding.

Grab a medium-sized mixing bowl to combine your ingredients. It’s important to have enough space for the mixture to combine well.

A whisk or spoon comes in handy for stirring everything together. This helps ensure the chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, and silken tofu mix evenly.

You’ll also need measuring cups and spoons. These help you get the right amount of chia seeds, protein powder, and any other ingredients you’ll be using.

Finally, a refrigerator is essential. Chia seed pudding needs some time in the fridge to thicken. You’ll be letting it sit for at least a few hours or overnight, so make sure you’ve got enough space.

These basic tools should help you create a creamy and rich pudding ready to enjoy!

Preparing The Ingredients

To make vegan high-protein chocolate blueberry chia seed pudding, start by gathering all your ingredients.

You will need chia seeds as they form the pudding’s base. They absorb liquid and create a thick texture. Measure out what you need.

Next, grab some silken tofu. This gives the pudding a creamy feel and packs in the protein. Make sure you use the right amount for that smooth texture.

Chocolate protein powder is key for flavor and extra protein. Choose your favorite brand and get it ready.

You’ll also need fresh blueberries. Wash them well before use. They add a burst of fruity sweetness and nutrients.

Don’t forget the plant-based milk. This helps the chia seeds soak and blend all the ingredients together. Select any variant you prefer, like almond or soy.

Lastly, you might want to have some sweetener on hand. Depending on your taste, you can use maple syrup or a similar option. Adjust to your liking.

Lay out each ingredient before starting. This will make everything smoother and quicker. Keep measuring tools ready to ensure correct amounts.

Once you have everything, you’re set to start making your delicious pudding.
