Ingredients

Scale
  • Base:
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey)
  • 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Protein Boosters (choose 1-2):

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix base: In a jar or bowl, whisk chia seeds, protein powder, almond milk, nut butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  2. Thicken: Let sit 5 mins, then whisk again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 2 hours).
  3. Add protein boosters: Before serving, stir in hemp seeds, yogurt, or collagen if using.
  4. Top: Add fresh fruit, nuts, and other toppings.
  5. Serve: Enjoy cold or slightly warmed.

Notes

  • Meal prep: Stores up to 4 days refrigerated (add toppings fresh)
  • Texture tip: For thicker pudding, use 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • Nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter and oat milk
  • Flavor variations: Add 1 tsp matcha, chai spice, or cocoa powder
  • No protein powder? Substitute 2 tbsp ground flax + 1 tbsp honey
