Chocolate Chia Pudding

In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, protein powder, honey and vanilla extract until well combined. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, then whisk again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
Cover the chia pudding and refrigerate until thick and creamy, at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Peanut Butter Yogurt

Whisk peanut butter into the yogurt until fully combined
Once the chocolate chia is set, layer into 2 small glasses and garnish with salted peanuts, granola, chocolate chips or chosen toppings to serve.
