Description

A delicious and nutritious High Protein Chia Seed Pudding made with creamy Greek yogurt and chia seeds, sweetened naturally and topped with fresh fruits or nuts. This easy no-cook recipe is perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack, providing a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup milk (cow’s milk or plant milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar)

Toppings (optional)

  • Fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, or mango)
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • Seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
  • Granola
  • Nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter)

Instructions

  1. Gather supplies: Measure out the chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and milk to prepare for mixing.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and milk.
  3. Mix thoroughly: Stir the mixture well to evenly incorporate the chia seeds with the yogurt and milk.
  4. Add flavor and sweetener: Stir in the vanilla extract and natural sweetener of choice. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  5. Initial rest: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to start absorbing liquid, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  6. Chill: Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve a pudding-like consistency.
  7. Check texture: After chilling, check the pudding’s thickness. Stir in more milk if too thick or add more chia seeds if too thin, then mix well.
  8. Serve: Top with your favorite fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, granola, or nut butter and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt based on preference for creaminess and calorie content.
  • Choose milk type based on dietary needs: dairy or plant-based options both work well.
  • Natural sweeteners can be adjusted for taste or omitted if preferred unsweetened.
  • Refrigerating overnight improves texture and flavor as chia seeds fully absorb the liquid.
  • Mixing after 5 minutes prevents clumping and ensures even pudding texture.
  • This pudding is high in protein and fiber, making it an excellent healthy snack or breakfast option.
