Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk alternative)

- Use a whisk to mix everything together until smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps from the protein powder.

- After the 5-minute mark, give the mixture another quick whisk to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
- Pour the mixture into serving bowls or cups.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow it to thicken and set properly.
- Once set, stir the pudding before serving. Top with your favorite low-carb toppings, such as berries, nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream.
