Health Highlights

Ingredients


3 tbsp Chia seeds, ground
3/4 cup Almond milk, unsweetened (or other milk is fine; i really like unsweetened chocolate almond milk for this too)
1/4 cup Heavy whipping cream, 38% M.F. (or coconut milk)
1 tbsp Swerve Sweetener, confectioners (you can use another sweetener of your choice- add a small amount and adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract, pure
4 tbsp Whey protein powder, isolate, unflavoured (unsweetened, Optional: add more for more protein)

Instructions


1. Mix all ingredients together and let sit for 5 minutes.

2. Stir to evenly distribute the chia seeds and allow to sit, covered, in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight.

3. When ready to eat, stir and add more liquid if it's too thick. This can be eaten cold or warmed up a bit.

4. Serve with a few berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) or homemade granola.

Optional: Add more unsweetened protein or collagen powder of your choice for more protein!

 

Notes:

This is a basic vanilla flavoured recipe. You can change the flavour by adding different flavoured extracts or by adding other fruit or granola.

Key Lime- add lime extract and a bit of lime zest

Cinnamon Roll- add cinnamon extract and/or powdered cinnamon and a bit more vanilla

Strawberries- add a few chopped berries or low sugar strawberry jam. This is particularly good with the chocolate almond milk variation.

Other toppings: nuts, low-sugar granola, a few sugar-free chocolate chips 

 

TEXTURE TIP: if you don't like the tapioca-like texture of chia pudding, simply run it through your blender before you add the toppings!
