High Protein Chia Pudding

This 3-ingredient chia seed pudding has 27 grams of protein to keep you full for hours. Made with chia seeds, milk and protein powder, this is the perfect healthy breakfast if you want something sweet.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup milk

• 1/4 cup chia seeds

• 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder, or flavor of your choice

Directions:

1.  In a leak-free container or mason jar, combine chia seeds, milk and protein powder. Close the lid and shake well for approximately 30-seconds or until well combined. Place in the fridge.

2. Leave the mixture to thicken in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.*

3. When you’re ready to enjoy, transfer this high protein chia pudding to a bowl and add toppings of choice.

Notes:

Sometimes the protein powder can clump up. To avoid this, check on your chia pudding after 1-2 hours and break up any clumps of protein powder with a spoon.

• If your pudding isn’t thickening up, it likely just needs more time. For best results, prepare the chia pudding the night before serving. 

• Choose a protein powder that you like the taste of, because this is the flavor that dominates the chia pudding!

• Toppings are KEY to making this flavorful and satisfying. Add fruit, cereal, nuts, nut butter, chocolate chips, or anything you enjoy for some extra flavor and texture.

• If your chia pudding is thicker than you’d like, add 1-2 Tbsp milk before serving and stir well.

• This recipe makes one large serving
