With just 7 simple ingredients and less than 10 minutes of prep time, it’s perfect for a stress-free start to your day. The humble chia pudding, star of the overnight breakfast, now adapted into an easy and delicious protein-rich recipe!

Who doesn’t love pudding? At one time in my life, before I was aware of the importance of nutrition for living a health and fitness lifestyle.  I used to eat industrialized pudding a lot. Packets that you purchase at the store. Nice and easy for dessert, nice and easy for breakfast.

But the little jars of sweet and colorful grocery store pudding are filled with nasty ingredients that I didn’t want in my body anymore. But what to do? I still love pudding… No problem, we can make it!! A homemade pudding that’s sugar-free, without preservatives or artificial colors, using wholesome ingredients that we can choose ourselves!

This delightful chia pudding is basically an alternate (and much more delicious!) way of getting your protein shake in. So, whatever protein powder you already use for your before/after gym/bed shake will work. This recipe is a simple and tasty protein-rich snack or dessert that is loaded with 20g of protein!

I love to meal prep. It’s not only a massive time saver to prepare a whole week of meals from breakfast to dinner, snacks, and lunch, but it’s also much cheaper and healthier than eating any kind of take-away food or store-bought meal. For this week’s meal prep, I wanted to have a sweet, creamy snack that was loaded with protein because, it’s essential to refuel with enough protein to keep a healthy body (and mind!).

Chia pudding is a great way to work more fiber into your diet too. It’s easily whisked into a pudding with sweetener, milk, and vanilla. While chia seeds do have a good amount of protein for a plant food, it’s not enough to really power your day. This simple recipe using a combination of Greek yogurt and protein powder to add a decent amount of protein with minimal work. The result is an extra creamy chia pudding, perfect for topping and enjoying!

But Chia seeds are fantastic ingredients that are loaded with protein, fiber, and other nutrients. It’s, of course, the key ingredient of a chia pudding, because it brings a great texture and gooeyness. Chia pudding is delicious, especially when paired with nuts and berries. Pack your pudding in mason jars for grab-and-go breakfasts. I leave room at the top of my jars to add lots of toppings! My favorites are berries, chopped nuts, nut butters and coconut flakes.

This chocolate chia pudding is an amazing snack. It’s not creamy, it’s velvety. It’s not good, it’s delicious. It’s not colorful, it’s vibrant! So, indulge in the delightful combination of flavours with my chia pudding recipe. Packed with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavour, this pudding is not only delicious but also nutritious.

On those busy mornings (I’m looking at you Mondays!) when you need a quick and easy breakfast, this chia seed pudding will be your new go-to! Its a creamy, satisfying breakfast or dessert perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a sweet treat without compromising on your nutritional goals.
