Ingredients

1 servings
  • 1 1/2 cups plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps

  1. In a jar or small container, combine the Greek yogurt, chia seeds, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
  2. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or whisk, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed and there are no clumps of chia seeds.
  3. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the pudding to thicken.
  4. Before serving, give the pudding another quick stir. Enjoy chilled.

Why This Works

This pudding delivers 38g protein by combining Greek yogurt (17g per cup) with chia seeds (4g per 2 tbsp). Chia seeds absorb liquid and form a gel, creating pudding texture without cooking. The overnight soak lets flavors meld and texture develop.
