My Go-To Protein Chia Pudding (aka Breakfast That Feels Like a Treat)
Tell me I’m not the only one who needs breakfast to be three things: fast, filling, and not totally boring. If you’ve got kids at home this summer and mornings feel like chaos, I’ve got you.
I typically do one of my Protein + Blood Sugar Balancing Protein Smoothies in the AM, but to switch things up, I’ve been making this Protein Chia Seed Pudding on repeat. It takes 2 minutes to stir together the night before, and in the morning? It’s thick, creamy, and already done—like a little gift from your past self. 🙌 I like to make 3-4 of them for the week. If you get bored having the same breakfast in the AM, start with making two. And when you wake up and open the fridge the next morning, you’ll at least have two protein + fiber + healthy fat breakfasts ready to go! No decisions to make, just fuel for your body.
Why I love it:
- Keeps me full and energized in the AM.
- Naturally sweet but blood-sugar friendly.
- Packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
- When I wake up, it’s already done! I just add toppings!
