Why this breakfast works

Protein Chia Pudding builds its protein from chia seeds and protein powder. At 30g protein and 340 calories, about 35% of its energy comes from protein, and it comes together in roughly 8 minutes. That protein density is what makes Protein Chia Pudding so filling for its calories, which is exactly what you want when breakfast needs to hold you to lunch without going overboard.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons chia seeds
3/4 cup unsweetened milk
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup berries
1 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

In a jar, stir together 3 tablespoons chia seeds, 3/4 cup unsweetened milk, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder until there are no dry pockets.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thickened to a spoonable texture.
Just before eating, top with 1/2 cup berries and 1 teaspoon maple syrup.
Make two or three jars at once to have grab-and-go breakfasts ready for the week.

Practical notes

Recipe notes

For meal prep, keep sauces, crunchy toppings, and delicate greens separate until serving.
This is a useful egg-free option; double-check packaged ingredients if you avoid eggs strictly.
If you need a larger meal, add fruit, toast, potatoes, or an extra serving of yogurt.
