Description
A nutritious and delicious chia seed pudding packed with protein to kickstart your morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or nonfat)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- ½ cup mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (optional)
Instructions
- Combine your base ingredients first. Start by adding chia seeds, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to a medium bowl or large mason jar. Make sure to put the liquid in first to prevent clumping.
- Whisk vigorously for 60 seconds. Use a whisk or a fork to mix thoroughly. You want to break up the protein powder lumps and ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes, then whisk again. This second whisk helps redistribute any chia seeds that might have settled at the bottom, making sure every spoonful has that delightful texture.
- Refrigerate overnight. Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the fridge. This allows the chia seeds to soak up the liquids and expand, creating that pudding-like consistency.
- Top with sliced almonds, mixed berries, and almond butter before serving. When you’re ready to eat, add your favorite toppings to make the dish even more satisfying and delicious.
