🫐 Instant Blueberry Chia Pudding

Instant Blueberry Chia Pudding

A high-protein, Omega-3-rich breakfast ready in 5 minutes.

• Prep Time: 5 minutes

• Servings: 1

• Protein: 50g

• Calories: ~350 kcal

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• 1/4 cup very hot water

• 3/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (nonfat for lowest calorie count)

• 1 serving Vanilla protein powder (Whey is recommended for texture)

• 1/3 cup blueberries (fresh or thawed)

• Optional toppings: Granola, almond butter, honey, shredded coconut, or extra berries.

Instructions

1. Flash-Gel the Chia: In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and the very hot water. Stir continuously for about 30 seconds. The heat allows the seeds to absorb liquid and create a gel-like consistency almost instantly.

2. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, and blueberries. Blend until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and vibrant purple.

3. Combine: Pour the blended blueberry protein mixture into the bowl with the chia gel. Stir well until the seeds are evenly distributed.

4. Serve: Add your desired toppings and eat immediately. If you prefer a thicker, mousse-like consistency, let it sit in the fridge for 10–15 minutes.

Quick Swaps & Tips

• The “Muffin” Vibe: Top with almond butter and a dash of cinnamon.

• Dairy-Free: Use a thick coconut or soy-based Greek-style yogurt and a plant-based protein powder (though you may need a splash more water as plant proteins absorb more liquid).

• Frozen Fruit: If using frozen blueberries, thaw them slightly before blending so the pudding doesn’t turn into a “nice cream” (unless that’s what you’re going for!).
