Recipe FAQS
No, this will alter the consistency.
I do not suggest doing this as it will alter the consistency and flavor of the overnight oats. If you must leave out the protein powder then add in 1 tablespoon of sweetener and additional cocoa.
I like to top my chia pudding with fresh fruit, cacao nibs and bee pollen.
Recipe Pro-Tips
Use a good tasting protein powder for the best tasting chia pudding. My favorite whey proteins are Ballerina Farms and Mind Body Green.
I recommend using whey protein for this recipe as vegan protein absorbs more liquid.
