Blend up the protein into the milk. If you try to whisk it when it's in the bowl with the other ingredients it just ends up in a clumpy, gooey mess.
Put the chia seeds into a bowl and and pour on the protein/milk.
Add the vanilla extract and whisk it all together. I also add cacao and kombucha to mine. Add sweetener if you feel the need.
Place in the fridge or a cool space for at least 4 hours, ideally 8 hours or over night.
After an hour or so give the mixture another whisk. You'll find much of the chia seeds have clumped together. This will stop some of the seeds from absorbing the liquid and may leave them crunchy.
After the required time take the mixture out of the fridge and give it a stir. If there is excess liquid you can either remove it by pouring it off or mixing it in. It all depends on how thick you want your pudding. If it is too thick you can add a little more milk and stir it in.
You can eat it straight out of the bowl like an animal or, if you are feeling fancy, spoon it out in glass jars like a boho hipster, add fruit, cream, cacao nibs, coconut, whatever the hell you like, and enjoy.
