Description
Creamy, high-fiber chia pudding that keeps you full, stabilizes blood sugar, and fits perfectly into a fat-loss plan; customize with lean protein and low-sugar toppings.
Ingredients
Base (1 serving)
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or water/oat/skim milk)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Sweetener to taste (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol)
Optional add-ins for fat loss (choose any)
- 1 Tbsp whey/plant protein powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon or ginger
- ¼–½ cup berries (fresh/frozen), for serving
Instructions
- Whisk almond milk, vanilla, and sweetener in a jar/bowl.
- Stir in chia seeds (and protein powder/spices if using) until no clumps remain.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2+ hours (overnight is best).
- Stir, adjust thickness with a splash of milk, and top with berries.
Notes
Ratio guide: 1 part chia to 6 parts liquid for spoonable pudding; add more liquid for thinner.
Protein boost: Mix powder into the liquid before chia to avoid clumps.
Sweeten smartly: Use zero-calorie sweeteners or just berries.
Hydration: Drink water through the day; chia absorbs liquid.
Allergies: Swap milks as needed; chia is naturally gluten-free and vegan.
