Introduction

This Chocolate Protein Pudding Snack Box is a delicious and nutritious treat perfect for a quick snack or light dessert. Packed with plant-based protein and fiber, it combines creamy chocolate pudding with fresh strawberries and crunchy mini rice crackers for a satisfying texture contrast.

A clear divided container held by a woman's hand shows three sections: the left side filled with smooth, dark brown chocolate pudding, the right side lined with a stack of light beige puffed rice cakes, and the bottom right filled with bright red, fresh sliced strawberries with visible seeds and juicy texture. The background is a white marbled surface scattered with small puffed rice pieces and strawberry slices. In the background, there are two white bowls, one filled with whole strawberries and the other with cocoa powder. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

6 tbsp chia seeds
2 ¾ cups almond milk

2 scoops vegan chocolate protein powder (use code ‘VEGANBABE’ for a discount!)
6 tbsp cacao powder

2 tbsp maple syrup
3 cups strawberry halves

75 g mini rice crackers (about 15 per box)

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the chia seeds, almond milk, vegan chocolate protein powder, cacao powder, and maple syrup in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
Step 2: Divide the chocolate pudding evenly into three individual containers and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let it thicken and chill.

Step 3: Just before serving, portion the strawberry halves and mini rice crackers between the three boxes and enjoy alongside the chilled chocolate pudding.

Tips & Variations

For extra creaminess, soak the chia seeds in almond milk for 10 minutes before blending.
Swap strawberries for other seasonal berries like blueberries or raspberries.

Use any plant-based protein powder you prefer to suit your taste and dietary needs.
Add a sprinkle of crushed nuts or coconut flakes on top for extra texture.

Storage

Store the prepared pudding in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the strawberries and rice crackers separate until ready to serve to maintain their freshness and crunch. If the pudding thickens too much upon standing, stir gently before eating.

How to Serve

Three clear rectangular containers are placed vertically, each divided into two sections. The left section in each container holds smooth, creamy chocolate pudding, rich brown in color, topped with a single bright red strawberry with green leaves. The right section contains two layers: a central row of round, light beige rice cakes stacked vertically, showing their airy texture, and to the right of the rice cakes, a heap of fresh, sliced strawberries with vibrant red and white interiors and small seeds. The containers rest on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this pudding without a blender?

While a blender helps achieve a smooth texture, you can whisk the ingredients vigorously by hand. Just be sure to soak the chia seeds well beforehand to soften them.

Is this snack suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Yes, as long as you choose gluten-free mini rice crackers and verify that your protein powder is gluten-free, this snack box is safe for a gluten-free diet.
