Liquid Base
1¼ cups unsweetened almond or coconut milk
Quality Protein
1½ scoops protein powder (unflavored, vanilla or chocolate)
Healthy Fats
3 Tbsp chia seeds
Topping: 2 Tbsp nuts or seeds OR ¼ cup low-sugar grain-free granola
Complex Carbs (Optional)
½–1 cup berries or other low-sugar fruit
Make It
Whisk the milk and protein powder together until smooth. Add the chia seeds and whisk again. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk once more to break up any clumps.
Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, loosen with a splash of milk if needed, then add your topping and fruit if having it.
Make It Your Own
Ceylon cinnamon: ⅛ tsp
Vanilla extract: ¼ tsp
Lightly sweetened cacao nibs or unsweetened coconut flakes: 1 Tbsp
Notes
Add the milk and protein powder first, then the chia seeds. This helps prevent clumps.
Don't skip the second whisk after 5 minutes. It helps the chia distribute evenly as the pudding begins to thicken.
Choose an unsweetened nut milk (no oats). Califia, Malk, and Elmhurst are easy options.
If using granola, choose a low-sugar option such as Purely Elizabeth Keto Granola.
