Description

Can we talk about how insanely delicious this high protein chia pudding is?! It’s got over 30 grams of protein per serving, no protein powder required and the best part, it only takes 10 minutes to set (no waiting overnight!). Whisked together with simple ingredients including vanilla extract, maple syrup, whole chia seeds, and plain Greek yogurt, it’s quick, easy, and perfect to meal prep for grab-and-go breakfasts, craveable snacks, and even dessert! (makes 2) 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup milk 
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

 

Optional Toppings (my favorite is berries + granola for some crunch!)  

  • Greek yogurt whip or whipped cream
  • Fruit (fresh or thawed frozen fruit) 
  • Granola
  • nuts/seeds/shredded coconut
  • Nut butter
  • Chia jam


Instructions

Directions

  1. To a large bowl, add the yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, chia seeds, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  2. Divide evenly between 2 sealable jars or containers (alternatively store in one large container to dish up as needed). Eat as is or set in the fridge for 10 minutes for a thicker pudding consistency.
  3. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
