High-Protein Chia Seed Tiramisu

Servings: 2


Ingredients

For the Chia Base:

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled

  • 1/3 cup chia seeds

  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers

For the Topping:

  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 tsp maple syrup

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chia Base:

    • In a bowl, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, brewed coffee, chocolate protein powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

    • Stir in the chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the chia seeds to thicken and create a pudding-like consistency.

  2. Assemble the Layers:

    • Divide the chia mixture evenly between two serving glasses or bowls.

    • Sprinkle half of the crushed graham crackers on top of each chia layer.

  3. Prepare the Topping:

    • In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.

    • Spoon the mixture over the chia and graham cracker layers.

  4. Finish and Serve:

    • Dust the tops with unsweetened cocoa powder.

    • Optionally, garnish with additional graham cracker crumbs or a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings.

    • Chill for 10-15 minutes if desired, then serve and enjoy!
