• In a large mixing shallow container, add all the dry ingredients: chia seed, cocoa powder, protein powder, and granulated sweetener, if you don't use maple syrup. Whisk to combine and break all the powder lumps.
• Add soy milk and maple syrup if used. Whisk until no more lumps of powder can be seen.
• Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
• After that time, give a quick stir as some seeds will sink to the bottom of the bowl. If too thick, add a splash of plant-based milk, up to 3-4 tablespoons.
• Cover the bowl and return to the fridge overnight or for at least 3 hours before serving.

Serving

• Stir before serving and adjust the texture by adding more milk if too thick or more protein powder if too liquid. Adjust sweetener if desired.
• Serve with plant-based yogurt to boost proteins, berries, and dark chocolate.

Storage

• Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed jar.
