High Protein Chia Pudding Recipe! 💪🏽

Hi everyone! Welcome, welcome, welcome 💗. For this week’s blog post I thought I’d share a little something I felt compelled to try for myself so maybe I can make you guys feel the same way too! I was doomscrolling on YouTube and a recipe came up for high protein chia pudding. I had only tried chia seeds on bread before so I was intrigued to see what else they could be used for and my gosh, I was in for a surprise!

This recipe was super easy, healthy and only needed 3 ingredients (I added toppings) so I immediately set to on prepping for it! I ended up following the recipe from their website: Cooking For Peanuts (annoyingly neither the website or the YouTube video mention the measurements for the ingredients so I just did it by eye and made way too much but oh well, at least I’ve got loads of breakfasts planned now 🤣). Let me share with you the recipe itself:

Ingredients

• Chia seeds (do not use a whole 150g pack like I did..you have been warned!).

• Non dairy milk (per batch its one cup)

• Greek style yoghurt (I used a whole pot)

Method (..to my madness)

Sorry I couldn’t not add that! 😂 So to start with it is best that you soak your chia seeds in water or else they will absorb all of the water in your stomach or at least thats what I heard! 😅 I soaked 150g of chia seeds in 1500ml or water so take from that what you will (I used WAY too many chia seeds).

I keep going to say chai (you know how much I love chai 🤣. You’re not like: 🤯 because I prep you for these things 😂). So after 2 hours of soaking I then added the seeds to a bowl with the yoghurt and the milk. I mixed it all together and then left it to sit for 5 minutes as apparently this gives enough time for the chia seeds to sink if they’re going to and then you mix it again before popping it in the fridge!

It needs to spend at least 2 hours in the fridge but for best results give it a night like I did….or so I hoped but mine hadn’t set as the water from the seeds/the milk made it too liquidy…oh well! The photo I’m sharing is before I added more Greek yoghurt and then it was a much better consistency! Thank goodness as there was so much of it I didn’t want it to go to waste!

I decorated it with mashed raspberries, chopped walnuts and almond nut butter (yeah I went all out! I never normally eat fancy-ish food like this, if you can call it that, but it has been a really nice treat to wake up to and I’m really into getting my omega fix from the chia seeds!).

It looked so pretty and it tastes even better!! No lie 🙌. It’s just like very amped up Greek yoghurt. I’m so happy I gave this recipe a go, its been a long time since I’ve done that with YouTube but im glad I did and I’d recommend it! (This is the video link). If you’re looking for a healthy snack (you can read all of the health benefits here on the recipe page) then don’t walk, run…to the kitchen! 🚶‍♀️🤣

I’ve gotta go now but I hope you enjoyed today’s post and that maybe you even wanna try out the recipe too like I did but of course, don’t make the same mistake as me. I’m sorted for weeks 🤣. Let me know if you’re gonna try it!

Do you like trying out new recipes? What was the last thing you made?

I’ll see you again next week but until then, have a great day/night (depending on where you are! 🌞🌛). Stay safe, take care and buh-bye! ✨️💗
