Equipment
- 1 blender
- 1 whisk
- measuring cups & spoons
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chia seeds the hormone-supporting stars
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice I love high protein milk, but use dairy-free as needed
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder plant-based or whey
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
- Optional toppings: chopped almonds coconut flakes, extra strawberries, granola
Instructions
- Blend the base: In a high-speed blender, combine strawberries, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, and sea salt. Blend until completely smooth.
- Mix with chia: Pour the blended mixture into a large container or bowl. Add chia seeds and stir thoroughly to ensure they're evenly distributed. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Chill and set: Cover and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create that perfect pudding consistency.
- Serve and enjoy: Divide the pudding between bowls or glasses. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and any optional toppings you desire.
- Meal prep magic: This keeps in the refrigerator for up to 4 days - perfect for busy mornings!
