This is one of my favourite breakfasts or evening snacks. I love how you can change the flavours of the chia seed pudding by using different toppings or protein powder. Chia seeds are a staple in our kitchen as they are packed with fibre and healthy fats, both of which are important for blood sugar balance and hormone health.
3 tablespoons of chia seeds contain 12g of dietary fibre and 6g protein. Adding some protein powder and nut butter will increase the protein content of the breakfast which will keep you fuller for longer. Give the below recipe a try and let me know what you think.
You will need
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp protein powder
- 1/3 cup frozen berries (I love mine with frozen blueberries)
- Cinnamon and/or cardamom
- Any toppings you like such as nuts, seeds, fresh or frozen berries, nut butters, coconut flakes
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and eat cold the following day. You might need to add some more plant-based milk but it’s just as tasty the next day!
Instructions
- Add the plant-based milk and chia seeds into a small saucepan.
- Keep stirring until the mix becomes thicker.
- Add the protein powder, the cinnamon and/or cardamom and frozen berries and continue stirring until you get the desired consistency.
- Add more plant-based milk if required.
- Pour it into a bowl or a glass, add your favourite toppings and serve immediately whilst warm.
