Make this creamy, protein packed chia pudding the night before for a quick, macro friendly breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, sweetener (if using), vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Whisk the mixture vigorously for about one minute until the protein powder is fully incorporated and there are no clumps. You must mix well to prevent the chia seeds from clumping at the bottom.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly. This second mix helps distribute the seeds evenly.
  4. Cover the bowl or seal the jar tightly. Place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, stir in a splash more milk until you reach your desired texture.
  6. Serve cold. Top with berries, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For a thicker pudding, use less milk. For a thinner consistency, add milk one tablespoon at a time until satisfied.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • If you use a flavored protein powder, you may want to omit or reduce the added sweetener.
