This creamy, nutritious, and protein-rich chocolate pudding is super easy to make and requires only 5 ingredients.

An essential macronutrient that our cells need to function properly, protein is a core building block for healthy muscles, bones, and more.¹ For a satisfying treat, we've included Harmonized Protein® which provides 24 grams of protein per scoop.  It features a blend of 5 high-quality, New Zealand sourced proteins, known to be the cleanest and purest in the world. Enriched with support nutrients for optimal digestion and utilization, Harmonized Protein® is also a source of all essential aminos acids.

To further increase the nutritional power of this pudding, we’ve added chia seeds. Small but mighty, they contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.² They’re also known for supporting the digestive system, promoting healthy skin, stronger bones, muscles, and more.²

Try this pudding for breakfast, a mid-day snack, or dessert!
