Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1 ⅓ cups milk
  • 3 scoops protein powder (approx. 30g per scoop)
  • 9 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: Add the milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Combine thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Chill to Thicken: Transfer the chia seed pudding mixture into an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill for 20-30 minutes or overnight, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  3. Serve and Customize: Once thickened, serve the pudding cold. For extra flavor and texture, top with your choice of fresh fruit, nut butter, honey, and granola as preferred.

Notes

  • The pudding can be prepared the night before for a convenient breakfast.
  • Use your preferred type of milk (dairy or plant-based) to suit dietary needs.
  • For a smoother texture, ensure the protein powder is fully dissolved while mixing.
  • Customize toppings to your taste to increase variety and nutrients.
  • If the pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk to adjust consistency.
