Description
Creamy, high-protein chia pudding made in 5 minutes with simple ingredients like chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, and almond milk. Perfect for breakfast, post-workout fuel, or healthy snacking.
Ingredients
1 scoop (25g) vanilla protein powder
1 ¼–1 ½ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk alternative)
4 tablespoons chia seeds
½ tablespoon maple syrup, honey, or sweetener of choice
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
½ cup Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt), for topping
Toppings: fresh berries, granola, nut butter
Instructions
1. In a bowl or jar, mix protein powder and almond milk until fully dissolved.
2. Add chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla extract if using, and stir or shake well.
3. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
4. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours or overnight until thick.
5. Divide into two portions, layer with granola if desired, and top with yogurt, berries, or nut butter before serving.
Notes
Use fresh chia seeds for best results—older seeds may not gel properly.
Stir again after 5 minutes to ensure even texture.
Adjust chia or liquid ratio to fix consistency.
Blend mixture after soaking for a smooth, mousse-like pudding.
Store refrigerated in an airtight jar for 5–7 days.
