Notes
*Collagen doesn't affect the texture of the chia pudding where as protein powder will. You may need to add a little extra milk if using protein powder & you find the pudding to be too thick.
*For a nut-free option, opt for sunflower seed butter or oat haus granola butter. peanut butter will taste funny!
*I linked the golden milk powder I like, but here is a homemade golden milk mix:
- 1 tsp vanilla powder (can omit and add vanilla extract to whatever you're adding the powder to).
