Method

Whisk the cocoa and pea protein into the almond milk in a jar until there are no lumps.
Stir in the chia, oats and salt. Leave for ten minutes, stir again to break up any clumps of chia, then lid on and into the fridge overnight.
In the morning, slice the banana over and drizzle the almond butter from a warmed spoon.

Worth knowing

Stir it twice in the first ten minutes. Chia left alone sinks into a rubbery layer at the bottom and the top stays thin.
No dairy and no gluten flag. Pea protein is what gets it to 35 g; without it the pudding is about 410 kcal and 13 g.
