Protein Chia Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder approximately 25 grams
- 1¼-½ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk plus more as needed
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup, honey, or sweetener of choice optional
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 0% or 2%
- Optional toppings: berries, nut butter, low-sugar/high-fiber granola
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 (if using) 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 refrigerator to “set” for 1 to 2 hours or overnight. The chia pudding should be nice and thick, not liquidy.
- When ready to serve, portion chia pudding into two glasses. Top with ¼ cup Greek yogurt each, fresh berries, or toppings of choice.
