Yummy Overnight Protein Chia Pudding

~ admin

To be honest with you all, I made up this recipe because I had overnight oats envy of a coworker. You see, I have several food sensitivities, and am unable to have oats. I saw the lovely jar filled with who knew what, but I wanted that for myself. I know. A little odd, but when you like something and can not have it without getting sick or itchy and these symptoms do not get affected by any medicine, they must wear off in due time, you tend to still want them. I set out to find a replacement and maybe this could be a new favorite. When I thought about the chia seeds, almond milk and protein powder, it seemed less creamy than I would like.

Enter 2% greek yogurt. You will not need much and can always add more or less or even change your recipe each time. I use a small jar with a lid, put the chia in, layer on a few tablespoons of greek yogurt (or maybe you have another favorite with a flavor) add half a scoop protein powder (my choice from now on is Dymatize birthday cake flavor 😉 ), top with almond milk and shake, shake, shake. It may not appear to be mixed well, but it is ok and you can put in the refrigerator.

Good news is, you do not have to wait overnight, if this isn’t in your schedule today. It will be ready in about thirty minutes, and will not mind waiting for longer. Morning breaks, I often mix this and come back to enjoy in the afternoon.

Keeping this breakfast or afternoon deliciousness low calorie, you can eat as it is, or add fruit if you like or granola for a crunchy texture.

Ingredients

1/4 cup chia seeds (I get mine at Trader Joe’s) or amazon

2 – 3 tablespoons 2% Greek yogurt

1 cup unsweetened (vanilla) almond milk

1/2 to 1 scoop protein powder (Dymatize Birthday cake flavor 🎂)

Mix in a jar with a lid, shake it up, refrigerate at least thirty minutes. You may like your pudding thicker or maybe drinkable. No problem! Adjust the milk to your liking, add cinnamon for an eggnog taste or nutmeg. The gel from the seeds being hydrated holds many health benefits and is considered to be similar to omegas. It helps lubricate joints and also to help clear the arteries. Very yummy, too!

Get creative and enjoy!!

  1. Okay, so I have put chia seeds in my green protein smoothies and enjoy that because…well I’m a texture person.

    How do the chia seeds blend with this? It sounds great, (still need to get that birthday cake protein), but…texture. I’m all about texture.

    1. The texture is a little like tapioca pudding, creamy not crunchy but maybe also like cottage cheese. I sometimes also put gg cracker crumbles in as I am about to eat it so it isn’t soggy. Any flavor protein will taste great, this one tho is so low cal and delish!! I think you will love it!!👌🏼

    1. It is all of those things!! I love it!! Change it up anyway you like!!👌🏼
