Ingredients
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1¼ cups milk of choice dairy or plant-based
- ½ scoop vanilla Premier Protein powder or your favorite flavor
Optional Toppings
- Fresh berries blueberries, strawberries, raspberries—you pick!
- Sliced banana or mango
- Granola for crunch
- Nut butter peanut, almond, cashew—all fair game
- Coconut flakes or cocoa nibs
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or container, mix chia seeds, milk, and protein powder. Stir well to avoid clumps.
- Chill Out: Pop the mixture in the fridge for at least 3 hours—or better yet, overnight. This gives the chia seeds time to absorb the liquid and thicken into pudding perfection.
- Break Up Clumps: After 30 minutes, give it a quick stir to break apart any stubborn clumps. Trust me; this step makes all the difference.
- Add Toppings: When you’re ready to dig in, grab a spoon and pile on your favorite toppings. Voilà!
Notes
- Storage: Lasts 3–5 days in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. The pudding thickens over time; stir in extra milk to loosen if needed.
- Sweetener Option: Add 1–2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired.
- Protein Powder Clumps: Stir after 30 minutes in the fridge to prevent clumping.
- Thickening Issues: If the pudding isn’t thickening, ensure the chia seeds are fresh and allow more chilling time.
