High-Protein Chia Pudding with Strawberries

Written By Richard Allison

Ingredients: Serves 2

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably non-fat or low-fat)

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 20g protein per scoop)

  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

 

Instructions:

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds and protein powder are evenly distributed and not clumped together.

  2. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.

  3. Stir: Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir to ensure even consistency.

  4. Serve: Top the chia pudding with the fresh sliced strawberries. You can also add other toppings like nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of granola for extra texture and flavour.
