Description
A creamy, protein-rich chia pudding layered with natural sweetness and fresh berries, perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or light dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (25–30 grams)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (optional)
Instructions
- Add chia seeds, protein powder, and almond milk into a bowl or jar.
- Mix thoroughly until smooth and no clumps remain.
- Stir in maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla extract.
- Add Greek yogurt if using, and mix well for extra creaminess.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Stir before serving and top with fresh berries.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness to taste with more or less maple syrup.
- Stirring twice helps prevent chia seed clumping.
- Can be blended after setting for a smoother texture.
- Use any milk alternative such as oat, soy, or dairy milk.
- Frozen berries can be used—just thaw slightly before serving.
