Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (approx. 90g) chia seeds
- 2 cups (approx. 480ml) unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
- 1 cup (approx. 240g) plain Greek yogurt (high protein, 0% or 2% fat)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, stevia to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: Fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, granola, a drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
- In a large bowl or airtight container, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and there are no clumps of chia seeds.
- Cover the bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Before serving, give the pudding another good stir. If it's too thick, you can add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Divide the high protein Greek yogurt chia pudding into individual serving bowls or jars. Top with your favorite fresh fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of granola for added texture and flavor. Enjoy cold!
Notes
For best results, make this pudding the night before. It will thicken beautifully overnight. Feel free to experiment with flavor variations: add cocoa powder for a chocolate version, cinnamon and nutmeg for a warming spice, or a spoonful of nut butter for extra richness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
