Protein Chia Pudding

PREP TIME: 5 minutes

SOAK TIME: 2 hours

TOTAL TIME: 2 hours 5minutes

SERVINGS: 2

Ingredients 

1 scoop (25 grams) vanilla protein powder

1 ¼-½ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk, plus more as needed

4 Tablespoons chia seeds

½ Tablespoon maple syrup, honey or sweetener of choice

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

½ cup Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)

Low sugar granola, for topping

Toppings: fresh berries, granola and nut butter.

Instructions 

• In a bowl or mason jar, whisk together almond milk and protein powder until protein powder has dissolved. If you’re using a mason jar, you can put the lid on and shake the mixture to combine.

• Add chia seeds, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir or shake mixture until well combined. Once the chia pudding mixture is well combined, let it sit for 5 minutes, give it another stir/shake to break up any clumps of chia seeds.

• Cover and put the mixture in the fridge to “set” for 1-2 hours or overnight. The chia pudding should be nice and thick, not liquidy.

• When ready to serve, portion chia pudding into two glasses with layers of granola, if desired. Top with ¼ cup Greek yogurt each, fresh berries, additional granola and nut butter or toppings of choice.
