High Protein Chia Seed Pudding
Description
High Protein Chia Seed Pudding blends chia seeds with almond milk, collagen powder, fresh lemon juice, coconut flakes, and a touch of maple syrup to create a textured pudding that sets after chilling. The fresh lemon zest adds brightness, while the coconut flakes contribute mild texture contrast. This pudding requires resting time to allow the chia seeds to hydrate fully and thicken, resulting in a creamy but slightly gelled consistency.
The optional addition of coconut cream on top before chilling adds a richer mouthfeel and can be divided into smaller servings for convenience. This pudding can serve as a protein-rich option suitable for breakfast or a filling snack, especially for those interested in collagen supplementation.
To avoid clumping, stirring after initial mixing and again after five minutes is essential. The refrigeration period of at least four hours ensures proper thickening. The pudding can be topped with preferred ingredients to vary flavor and texture.
