Ingredients

Chia seed pudding

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 4 Truvia packets

Berry Puree

  • ½ cup raspberries
  • ½ cup strawberries

Mix-Ins & Toppings

  • 1 cup Oikos vanilla greek yogurt (20g protein)
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (optional)
  • 2 teaspoon shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

  • Add almond milk, coconut milk, and chia seeds to a bowl and mix with a small whisk or fork for 60 seconds. Allow them to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place ½ cup raspberries and ½ cup strawberries in a blender and puree until smooth. I like to add a tiny amount of water to make the puree a little thinner.
  • Add vanilla extract, almond extract, and Truvia to your chia seed pudding and stir for an additional minute. By this point, your chia pudding should be starting to thicken.
  • Layer pudding in a mason jar along with berry puree, yogurt, and additional berries, if using.

Notes

  • Some recipes will tell you to shake your milk and chia seeds in a mason jar or to mix them together in a blender, but I've found that stirring works much better. When you shake or blend the chia seeds they can clump together or get stuck at the bottom, but when you stir them they start expanding right away and are more evenly dispersed.
  • I like to sprinkle a little coconut on top but you can also layer it or mix it into the pudding.
  • To add even more protein and flavor to your chia seed pudding, add your favorite protein powder.
  • If you're making more than one batch in order to meal prep, try experimenting with different toppings and mix-ins! I highly recommend adding some cocoa powder for a chocolate pudding effect.
  • You can eat your chia seed yogurt as soon as an hour after leaving it in the fridge, but the longer it sits the thicker it will become. I prefer mine after letting it thicken overnight, or even after a couple of days.
