Who doesn’t love pudding? 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 and this dish is a sweet, creamy snack that is loaded with protein because, it’s essential to refuel with enough protein to keep a healthy body (and mind!).

This 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 high-quality ingredients, this pudding is not only delicious but also nutritious.

Chia pudding is something I’ve had a long time love affair with. It’s indulgent tasting, while being packed with fiber and other important nutrients that not only tantalizes your taste buds but also nourishes your body with a host of health benefits. It’s a powerhouse of nutrients, boasting a rich blend of antioxidants, fibre, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Chia seeds have high amounts of calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, selenium and copper. Often referred to as one of the world’s most nutritious foods they pack a mighty punch, aiding digestion, supporting heart health, and providing a sustained source of energy throughout the day.

For example…

2 tablespoons of chia seeds has:
64% more potassium than a banana
5 times more calcium than milk
41% of your daily fibre
3 x more iron than spinach
2 x the antioxidants of blueberries
100% more omega-3 than salmon

Indulge guilt-free in this healthy dish that not only satisfies your sweet cravings but also supports your well-being. Whether enjoyed as a wholesome breakfast, a satisfying snack, or a nutritious dessert, my Strawberry Chia Pudding is a delicious way to treat yourself while nourishing your body from the inside out.

You can make this single serving or meal prep ahead and make a larger batch to get you through the week. It stays good in the fridge for up to 5 days, and you can take out what you need and then flavor it every morning with different add-ons or toppings.

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 whipped coconut cream (recipe below in notes) berries, chopped nuts, nut butters and coconut flakes and sometimes a squirt of my homemade chocolate sauce.

So, if you have a batch of this base recipe (simply double or triple it) in the fridge to make a quick breakfast or snack during the week, this chocolate pudding might just become your personal favorite.

This recipe is incredibly easy to make and requires minimal ingredients. Simply blend, stir, and refrigerate – and you will have a delicious and nutritious breakfast, snack, or dessert ready to enjoy!
