Protein Chia Pudding (No Protein Powder!)
Report
Protein Chia Pudding is a high-protein breakfast idea made without protein powder. It's an easy meal prep idea for a fast morning!

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- ⅓ cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ cup soy milk (or milk of choice)
Instructions
- In a 12-ounce glass jar, combine the chia seeds, yogurt, maple syrup, and milk. Use a small whisk to stir everything well. Repeat this process if you want to make more than one serving for meal prep.
- Chia pudding benefits from being mixed twice. Let the jar rest for a few minutes, then whisk again to prevent the seeds from clumping together. Then, secure the lid and store it in the fridge overnight. (Or for at least 20 minutes for a faster meal.)
- When you're ready to eat, grab the jar from the fridge and remove the lid. Give the pudding a stir and add any toppings you love. The pudding will have a thick texture; add an extra splash of milk if you prefer a loose texture. Chia pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for the whole batch made with soy milk. This information is automatically calculated from a database of ingredients, so it's just an estimate and not a guarantee.
- Add More Protein: Increase the Greek yogurt to a 1/2 cup for 20 grams of protein per serving. The resulting texture starts to feel like you're eating a serving of Greek yogurt with chia seeds added in, but this ratio will give you 23% protein per serving.
- Want to add protein powder? You can experiment with adding 1 tablespoon at a time. In that case, you'll probably need more liquid, too. I tried adding 2 tablespoons of unsweetened protein powder to this and thought it was gross, so I stuck to Greek yogurt.
