This creamy strawberry protein chia pudding is an easy make-ahead breakfast or snack that's packed with plant-based protein and fiber to keep you full. Simply blend, stir, chill, and wake up to a delicious, healthy breakfast waiting in the fridge.
Ingredients
- ½ lb fresh strawberries
- ½ serving (18g) EarthChimp Strawberry Protein Powder
- 1 cup unsweetened soy milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, protein powder, almond milk (or soy milk), vanilla extract, and salt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl or large jar and whisk in the chia seeds until evenly combined.
- Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps and help the chia seeds distribute evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
- Stir well before serving. Enjoy as is, or top with fresh strawberries, sliced banana, granola, hemp hearts, or a dollop of dairy-free yogurt.
Notes
- Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
- Protein Powder: Different protein powders absorb liquid differently. If your pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk. If it's too thin, add 1–2 teaspoons of chia seeds and let it sit for another 20–30 minutes.
- Soy Milk Option: Using unsweetened soy milk increases the protein content even more while making the pudding extra creamy.
