Coconut whipped cream
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a medium jar with a lid and whisk together your plant milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and protein powder. If you're adding almond butter, make sure it's nice and runny so it blends smoothly.
02 -
Here's the secret to perfect texture - whisk the mixture every 5 minutes for the first 15 minutes. This keeps those chia seeds from clumping together and ensures everything distributes evenly.
03 -
Once everything is well combined, pop the lid on your jar and let it chill in the fridge overnight, or at least 4 hours until it's thick and creamy.
04 -
Give it a good stir with a spoon and add your favorite toppings. The combination of creamy almond butter and crunchy granola is absolutely divine!
