Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (30 g)
  • 1/2 cup water or almond milk (120 ml)
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (180 g, reserve 1/4 cup after it's set)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (30 g, chocolate or vanilla, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon peanut butter (5 g)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (5 g)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, water (or almond milk), 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, and protein powder (if using).
  2. Stir the mixture well to ensure all ingredients are combined.
  3. Allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes. This will enable the chia seeds to absorb liquid and start to thicken.
  4. After 15 minutes, stir the mixture again to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pudding until it’s thickened and the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid, which takes a minimum of 2 hours and can be prepared up to overnight.
  6. Once set, top your pudding with the reserved 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt.
  7. Drizzle with peanut butter and honey for added sweetness and flavor.
  8. Enjoy your healthy Protein Chia Pudding!

Notes

Protein Chia Pudding can be served in individual bowls or jars. Add fresh fruits like berries, banana slices, or diced mangoes on top for a refreshing twist. You can also sprinkle some granola or nuts for added crunch and texture. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this pudding can last for up to 5 days.
