Blended Berry Chia Pudding
A fun way to change up your usual chia seed pudding!
I absolutely love chia seeds because eating them is such a great way to add more fiber into my day to day. Fiber is sooo important for our gut health and for regular bowel movements, yet most people really struggle to eat enough of it in their day to day.
This recipe kinda feels like a mix between a smoothie and a thick chia seed pudding, and is great for meal prep too!
This recipe is balanced with protein, fiber and healthy fats. It makes for 2 servings and stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours (3 days).
Let’s get into it! Recipe outline and ingredient list is below.
Blended Berry Chia Pudding
Ingredients:
frozen strawberries
frozen blueberries
vanilla protein (I use the one from BeWell by Kelly)
pistachio milk or other nut milk
chia seeds
Instructions:
Add 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1 cup of frozen strawberries and 2 cups of nut milk (4g protein for pistachio milk) to a blender. Give an initial blend.
Add 1/2 cup (7 tablespoons) chia seeds (10g protein) and 2 scoops protein powder (48g protein) and blend.
Add to 2 separate mason jars with an airtight lid, and store in the fridge. Stays fresh for up to 72 hours. Each serving has 31g protein.
You can eat it up to 1-2 hours after refrigerating, or the next morning.
Top 1 serving (31g protein) with 1/2 tbsp peanut butter and a small handful of granola!
I actually really liked how it turned out! I’d say the texture is pretty thick, kind of similar to overnight oats, but I really liked it and found this to be a great way to set myself up with a healthy and balanced breakfast going into my day.
If you prefer a smaller serving size, you can also split the recipe across 3 mason jars instead of 2.
If you try this out and like it, let me know!
