High-Protein Chia Pudding:

A nutritious, high-protein breakfast or snack, this chia pudding is packed with fiber and protein, making it the perfect fuel for your day.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored works well)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
• Fresh fruit, nuts, or granola for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pudding Base:
   • In a bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, protein powder, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir well to ensure the protein powder is fully dissolved and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
2. Sweeten (Optional):
   • If you want a sweeter pudding, add maple syrup or honey to taste and stir to combine.
3. Refrigerate:
   • Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
4. Serve:
   • Once the pudding is ready, give it a good stir before serving. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or granola for added texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations :

• ✔ For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat coconut milk or cashew milk instead of almond milk.
• ✔ Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
• ✔ For a fun twist, try adding cocoa powder for a chocolate version.
• ✔ To keep it more filling, top with a spoonful of nut butter or a handful of nuts.

Enjoy your meal!
