Protein Chia Pudding is a creamy, high-protein treat made with chia seeds, milk, and Greek yogurt or protein powder. It’s ideal for breakfast, post-workout snacking, or a healthy dessert, and is easy to customize.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or 1 scoop unflavored protein powder
  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Optional toppings: berries, banana slices, granola, chopped nuts, coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, milk, and Greek yogurt or protein powder.
  2. Add honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if using, then stir well to combine.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, until thickened.
  5. Stir once more before serving and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use plant-based milk and protein for a vegan version.
  • Stir well twice to ensure chia seeds don’t clump together.
  • Add a splash of milk before serving if the pudding is too thick.
  • Blend after chilling for a smoother, mousse-like texture.
