Method
Make the base.
Whisk the cocoa powder, protein powder, honey, vanilla and salt into the milk in a jug or bowl, until fully smooth with no lumps of cocoa or powder left.
Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed.
Rest and set.
Let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again. This is the step that stops the chia clumping and settling into an uneven layer once it sets.
Divide between two jars, cover, and chill for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until it sets to a thick, spoonable pudding.
Serve.
Stir before serving. Top with berries or chocolate shavings if using.
