Ingredients

  • Chia Seeds: 1/4 cup (the base for that perfect gel texture).

  • Milk of Choice: 1 cup (Almond, soy, or dairy all work great).

  • Protein Powder: 1 scoop (Vanilla or Strawberry flavor).

  • Greek Yogurt: 1/4 cup (Plain or vanilla for extra creaminess and protein).

  • Fresh Strawberries: 1/2 cup mashed + extra for slicing.

  • Sweetener: 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional).

  • Toppings: Granola, hemp seeds, or bee pollen.

Instructions

1. Mix the Base

In a medium bowl or a large glass jar, whisk together your milk, protein powder, and Greek yogurt until the powder is fully dissolved and no clumps remain.

2. Incorporate the Fruit & Seeds

Add the mashed strawberries and chia seeds to the mixture. Stir vigorously for about a minute. If you want that vibrant pink color throughout, ensure the strawberry mash is well-distributed.

3. Let it Set

Cover the jar and let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature, then give it one final stir to prevent the seeds from clumping at the bottom. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight is best for the thickest consistency.

4. Assemble & Serve

When ready to eat, layer the pudding with fresh strawberry slices. Top it off with a sprinkle of granola for crunch and a dash of hemp seeds or bee pollen for an extra nutrient boost.

Pro Tip: If you prefer a completely smooth texture, you can blend all the ingredients (except the toppings) in a high-speed blender before chilling!
