Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1
Ingredients: 3 tbsp chia seeds; 1 scoop (about 30g) strawberry protein powder; 1 cup milk of choice; 1/2 tsp vanilla extract; Toppings: sliced strawberries or granola

Chia seeds thicken this into a pudding-like texture overnight, and a scoop of strawberry protein turns it into a full breakfast instead of a snack.

Ingredients

•3 tbsp chia seeds
•1 scoop (about 30g) strawberry protein powder
•1 cup milk of choice
•1/2 tsp vanilla extract
•Toppings: sliced strawberries or granola

Instructions

1.Whisk the protein powder into the milk first, until fully dissolved.
2.Add the chia seeds and vanilla extract, and stir well.
3.Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia clumps that formed on the bottom.
4.Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until thickened to a pudding consistency.
5.Top with fruit or granola before serving.

Tip

Stir twice — once right after mixing, and again after the first 5 minutes. Chia seeds clump if left undisturbed early on, and one stir alone isn't enough to break that up.
