Blueberry & Lemon Chia Protein Pudding

This protein pudding is creamy, perfectly sweet and packs over 20 grams of protein per serving. Made with nut milk, fruit and protein powder for a simple and healthy dessert or snack. Its thick so it sticks with you for a while and keeps you feeling full and satisfied.

If you are looking for some sweeter, tastier ways to add more protein to your diet, look no further than this simple chia pudding that is low carb and high protein.

Store bought puddings are usually loaded with all sorts of funky ingredients, so making it from scratch at home with this recipe is a much healthier option.

I love serving this with whipped coconut cream (recipe below in notes) or yogurt for a healthy dessert. But you can also top it with fresh fruit and a drizzle of peanut butter for a simple post workout snack or afternoon snack.

Why I love this recipe…

This is a very quick pudding recipe with no cooking, no fuss, my kind of recipe. I add blueberries or raspberries depending on the availability of fresh fruit.

Its rich and decadent but also extremely satisfying from the protein and healthy fats and the perfect solution to quell a sweet tooth! It has the perfect texture.

Thick, smooth, and incredibly creamy. You can customize it too. I love vanilla, chocolate, and peanut butter, but you can jazz it up any way you like! 

Easy to customize. My recipe is a blank slate for you to add various toppings, mix-ins, and more. Add mix-ins. Nothing beats some chopped nuts, chopped fresh fruit, coconut flakes, healthy granola, or even some honey or peanut butter.

It’s a great make-ahead breakfast that’s packed with protein, fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids and an easy way to up your daily protein intake in a totally enjoyable way. I often prep 5-6 servings on the weekend, so I have breakfast sorted for the week ahead.

Super filling. The chia seeds pack in tons of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and vitamins (source) and adding protein will keep you full until lunch!

Chia seeds don’t taste like much, so they take on the flavors of whatever they are mixed with. The ratio of seeds to liquid is the most important part of making chia pudding.

I think it turns out best when you use 1-2 tablespoons of chia with a cup of liquid. Chia seeds are so good for you. Just two tablespoons contain four grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber, plus lots ofomega-3s and calcium.

This blueberry chia pudding is perfect for meal prep since it will keep in the fridge for four days. You can easily double (or triple) it and have breakfast covered for half the week!

Creamy, rich, smooth and mousse like, it's your new favourite dessert. After trying it, I've made it countless times and I love having it on hand in the fridge when I need a quick and easy snack, or even as a breakfast option.

This delicious blueberry chia pudding is made with just a handful of simple ingredients and takes less than 10 minutes to put together. It's the perfect breakfast or snack option to meal prep!

And….its a wicked way to gain a burst of energy first thing in the morning or throughout the day!
