Protein Chia Pudding is a creamy, high-protein snack or breakfast made with chia seeds, milk, and a protein boost from Greek yogurt or protein powder. It’s easy to prep ahead and fully customizable with your favorite toppings.

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: fresh berries, banana slices, granola, chopped nuts, coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or jar, mix together chia seeds, milk, and Greek yogurt or protein powder until well combined.
  2. Add sweetener and vanilla extract if using, and stir again.
  3. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir once more to prevent clumps.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thickened.
  5. Stir before serving and top with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use plant-based milk and protein for a vegan version.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste or skip sweetener altogether.
  • Blend the pudding for a smooth, mousse-like texture.
  • Make a batch ahead for 3–4 days of ready-to-eat snacks or breakfasts.
