Protein Chia Pudding
My Protein Chia Pudding has 31g of protein to start your day off right. With a vanilla or chocolate flavour option, it's a yummy meal prep breakfast!
Servings: 1 chia pudding
Ingredients
Base chia pudding:
- ½ cup milk
- 1 scoop protein powder (see below for flavour options) (2 tbsp)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
Vanilla flavour:
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (2 tbsp)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Chocolate flavour:
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (2 tbsp)
- 2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a 10-oz mason jar or glass container, whisk together milk, protein powder, honey and Greek yogurt. If using, add vanilla extract and cinnamon or cocoa powder and salt. Whisk. Add chia seeds. Whisk to combine.
- Place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes (ideally 1-2 hours or overnight) to allow the chia seeds to expand and the pudding to thicken.
- In the morning, top with your favourite toppings ( I love berries, nut butter and granola) and enjoy!
Notes
Honey can be replaced with maple syrup. For additional sweetness increase sweetener to 2 tsp.
** 1 of a standard sized scoop of Nuzest protein powder is equivalent to 2 tablespoon however depending on your protein powder you can use between 2-4 tbsp!
