Description

A nutritious and delicious protein-packed pudding made with chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and protein powder.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or a thick non-dairy yogurt)
  • 1 cup milk (any)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (any (20 to 30 g))
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup (optional))
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the base: Add 1 cup milk and 1 scoop protein powder to a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth, with no lumps.
  2. Add the yogurt and chia: Add 1 cup Greek yogurt and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste it; if you want it sweeter, add 1 to 2 tablespoons honey and mix again. Whisk in 4 tablespoons chia seeds until evenly mixed.
  3. Chill: Cover the bowl or pour into jars. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thick.
  4. Adjust and serve: Take it out of the fridge and give it a good stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk and mix again. Top with fruit, nuts, or nut butter, and enjoy.
