Ingredients
-
1/4 cup chia seeds
-
1 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
-
1 scoop of flavored or unflavored whey protein or collagen powder - I use 1st Phorm's Vanilla Collagen Powder with Dermaval
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
-
Fresh fruit, nuts, coconut, cacao, granola or other desired toppings (optional)
Instructions
1. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine chia seeds, almond milk, protein powder, and vanilla extract (if your protein powder is flavored, you may want to skip or reduce the vanilla extract). You can add a scoop of granola or nuts to the bottom of the jar before other ingredients, if desired.
​
2. Shake well to combine, ensuring there are no clumps of seeds at the bottom.
​
3. Seal the container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. For best results, refrigerate overnight. This will allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
4. After refrigeration, give the chia pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
Makes one meal serving or two snack-size servings. Top with fresh fruit or other desired toppings.
