High Protein Chia Seed Pudding
Health Highlights
Excellent way to start the day. Add additional toppings as desired (see Notes for suggestions).

Ingredients


3 cup Almond milk, unsweetened
1/2 cup Chia seeds ((1/2 to 3/4c); as needed)
1/4 tsp Cinnamon (ground)
2 cup Greek yogurt, vanilla, fat-free
1 tbsp Maple syrup (to taste - optional)

Instructions


  1. Whisk the almond milk, chia seeds, greek yogurt, cinnamon, and maple syrup (optional) together in a large bowl. For a thin and runny consistency, use 1/2 cup of chia seeds. For a thicker consistency, use 3/4 cup of chia seeds. 
  2. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes and then whisk again to prevent clumps from forming.
  3. Cover the mixture and let it chill in the fridge for 3 hours, or overnight. If possible, stir the mixture every so often during this period.
  4. Stir well before serving. If the consistency is too runny, whisk in more chia seeds and let it sit again until it thickens. If the consistency is too thick, add a bit more almond milk.
  5. Portion into bowls and add your desired toppings (see Notes for ideas). Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, to last for 3-5 days.

Notes:

Don't have almond milk? Try cashew milk, cow's milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.

Instead of Vega Sport vanilla protein powder, you can also try another brand or type of vanilla protein powder (e.g. whey or pea vanilla protein powder).

*Optional toppings: Granola, Cereal, Coconut Flakes, Fresh Fruit (E.g. Banana, Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Pineapples), Nuts, Nut Butter, Seeds
