Protein Chia Pudding
Protein Chia Pudding mixes vanilla protein powder with almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and optional vanilla extract, creating a creamy, nutrient-dense pudding that thickens after refrigeration. Greek yogurt and fresh berries add creaminess and brightness, with granola providing crunch. This pudding offers a balanced texture combination and serves as a versatile breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 coop (25 grams) protein powder vanilla
- 1 ¼-½ cups almond milk plus more as needed, unsweetened vanilla
- 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
- granola for topping
- berries granola and nut butter, fresh, for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl or mason jar, whisk together almond milk and protein powder until protein powder has dissolved. If you’re using a mason jar, you can put the lid on and shake the mixture to combine.
- Add chia seeds, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir or shake mixture until well combined. Once the chia pudding mixture is well combined, let it sit for 5 minutes, give it another stir/shake to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
- Cover and put the mixture in the fridge to “set" for 1-2 hours or overnight. The chia pudding should be nice and thick, not liquidy.
- When ready to serve, portion chia pudding into two glasses with layers of granola, if desired. Top with ¼ cup Greek yogurt each, fresh berries, additional granola and nut butter or toppings of choice.
