Chocolate Protein Chia Pudding

Written By Jessie McIntosh

Combine:

  • 2 tablespoons of black chia seeds 

  • 75mls of milk of choice (almond, soy, or dairy) I use soy 

  • 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon 

  • 1 tablespoon of protein powder 

  • 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder 

  • 1 teaspoon of honey 

Optional: 

  • Dash of vanilla extract

Toppings: 

  • Banana

  • Blueberries 

  • Goji berries 

  • Nuts and seeds 


This chia pudding is perfect as an on-the-go breakfast or a snack in between meals! Chia seeds are packed with antioxidants, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and fibre. Two tablespoons of chia seeds contain 9.7 grams of fibre! Along with minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, B1, B3, and zinc. 

Chia seeds are high in antioxidants which help fight free radicals which contribute to aging and a variety of diseases. Antioxidants are protective against these compounds which can build up in the body as they neutralize reactive molecules. 

With just 2 tablespoons giving nearly half of the recommended daily intake of fibre no wonder our GUT bugs love these. Soluble fiber can also help bind to LDL cholesterol and remove it from the body.
