VANILLA RASPBERRY CHIA PUDDING

VANILLA RASPBERRY CHIA PUDDING.jpg

Chia pudding is a meal-prep breakfast staple at my house.  It’s nutritious, delicious, and super easy to make. This vanilla raspberry combination has been a hit with all of my taste-testers, kids and grown-ups alike!

CHIA SEEDS.jpg

Chia seeds have a mild nutty taste and are extremely nutrient-dense. Each 2 tablespoon serving contains 4 grams of protein and 12 grams of carbohydrate, of which 11 grams are actually fibre!  I happen to like the texture of chia pudding, but for those of you who aren’t chia fans, this recipe also works well BLENDED!

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond or nut-free milk

  • 1/2 cup canned organic full-fat coconut milk

  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries

  • 1/4 cup Further Food Vanilla Collagen Peptides OR Nuzest Clean Lean Smooth Vanilla protein powder OR a combination

  • 1 Tbsp Plant Burst or Organika maca powder (optional)

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)

  • Lakanto sugar-free monk fruit sweetener (here), pure stevia, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice, adjusted to taste (optional)

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds

  • optional toppings: berries, granola, coconut chips, sugar-free chocolate chips, raspberry chia jam, nuts and/or nut butter, or toppings of choice

Note: To make this recipe Whole 30 compliant, use plain collagen, omit the vanilla extract and sweetener, and top with nuts, berries, and almond butter. 

Directions:

  1. Put almond milk, coconut milk, frozen berries, collagen or protein powder, maca, and vanilla extract into blender container and blend on high until well-mixed. Sweeten to taste.

  2. Add chia seeds and pulse-blend until just combined.

  3. Pour into a bowl or single-serving mason jars and cover or seal tightly.

  4. Let sit for 10 minutes, then shake or whisk well and put in the fridge overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours.
