Chia Pudding
High protein chia pudding recipe
Servings 2 people
Equipment
- blender
Ingredients
- 5 tbsp Chia seeds
- 1.5 cup Soy milk unsweetened
- 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 3 Dates seedless
- 1/2 tbsp Pumpkin seeds
- 2 Strawberries for garnishing
Instructions
- Start by blending the main ingredients to create a smooth and creamy pudding base. Combine the chia seeds, soy milk, cocoa powder, and dates in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the dates are fully incorporated. Blending the chia seeds helps achieve a smoother texture compared to traditional chia pudding, where the seeds remain whole.
- If you prefer a slightly chunkier texture, you can blend everything except the chia seeds. Then stir the seeds into the mixture after blending. Either method works—it all depends on your texture preference!
- Pour the blended mixture into a bowl or jar. For the best results set it in refrigerator for 30 minutes at least.
- Once the chia pudding has set, it’s time to add the toppings. Sprinkle a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds over the pudding for an extra dose of protein and crunch. Pumpkin seeds are not only high in protein but also rich in zinc and magnesium, which are great for your immune system and overall health.
- Top it off with freshly sliced strawberries. The sweet-tart flavor of the strawberries pairs beautifully with the rich chocolate base, while adding a boost of antioxidants and vitamin C. You can also experiment with other toppings like blueberries, banana slices, or shredded coconut if you’d like to switch things up.
- Your high-protein chia pudding is now ready to enjoy! It’s creamy, chocolatey, and perfectly sweetened with no refined sugar. Serve it in a bowl or jar, and if you’re feeling fancy, layer it with additional fruit or nut butter for a parfait-style treat.
