Description
Creamy, satisfying, and bursting with juicy blueberries and nutty peanut butter, this high-protein chia pudding is the perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack that feels like dessert but fuels like a meal.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, soy, or dairy)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2–1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or thawed frozen)
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or mason jar, whisk together chia seeds, milk, protein powder, and maple syrup or honey if using.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stir, then continue to chill for a total of 3 hours or overnight until thickened.
- Prepare blueberries by rinsing (if fresh) or thawing (if frozen). Mash lightly if desired for a swirl effect.
- Once pudding has set, swirl or layer in the peanut butter.
- Spoon pudding into jars or bowls, layering with blueberries. Top with extra peanut butter and blueberries if desired.
- Serve chilled or gently warmed for a cozy variation.
Notes
