Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 30 g vanilla protein powder (1 rounded scoop, Puori whey recommended)
- 1 cup unsweetened flax milk (or any milk of choice, Good Karma unsweetened flaxmilk + protein suggested)
- 1 tbsp good quality maple syrup (or 1-2 packets of stevia)
- 1 gram scoop blue spirulina
- Dash of salt
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and vanilla protein powder until evenly combined to ensure a uniform pudding texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened flax milk, add the maple syrup for sweetness, and a dash of salt to enhance flavor. Whisk thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Refrigerate: Divide the mixture evenly between two small glasses or jars. Cover them and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours) to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a thick pudding consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: The next day, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps, then top with fresh fruit and a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost and added creaminess.
Notes
- Use any vanilla protein powder you prefer, but whey protein gives the best texture and flavor.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with stevia for a lower-calorie option.
- Blue spirulina adds a natural vibrant color along with antioxidant benefits.
- The pudding thickens best when refrigerated overnight, so plan ahead.
- Top with your favorite fresh fruits such as berries or sliced banana to enhance flavor and nutrients.
- Adding Greek yogurt increases protein content, making it ideal for post-workout recovery.
