High-Protein Chia Pudding
Protein-Packed Chia Pudding (Meal Prep Friendly!)
If you’re looking for a quick, filling, and actually satisfying breakfast or snack, this protein chia pudding is a game-changer. I use my favorite 16oz to-go jars (linked here) and fill them about ¾ of the way, leaving room on top for fresh berries.
The combo of chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and protein powder makes this super creamy, high in protein, and perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients (makes 4 jars)
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt
• 4 scoops protein powder (1 per jar)
• ½ cup chia seeds (8 tbsp, about 2 tbsp per jar)
• 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
• Fresh berries for topping
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, vanilla, and sweetener until smooth.
2. Stir in chia seeds, let sit 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumps.
3. Divide evenly into 4 16oz jars (each about 12–13oz, leaving space for toppings).
4. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to thicken.
5. Add fresh berries before serving.
