The Story Behind My Chia Pudding Obsession
This pudding was born during a time when I needed a fast breakfast that didn’t taste like cardboard. I was juggling a toddler, a to-do list a mile long, and about three hours of sleep (new moms, I see you). This little jar of goodness became my lifeline—one I could prep with one eye open and still feel good about.
Now, it’s part of my weekly rotation. I love how it keeps me full without weighing me down, and my kids think it’s dessert. That’s what I call a win.
What to Serve With Chia Protein Pudding
On its own, this pudding is perfection. But if you want to bulk it up into a more filling breakfast, pair it with a boiled egg or a slice of whole grain toast. Add a handful of trail mix on the side for a crunchy contrast.
Hosting brunch? Line up a few of these in mason jars with a toppings bar. It’s cute, easy, and gives off serious hostess-with-the-mostest vibes.
How to Store This Healthy Breakfast Jar
Store in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It’s perfect for batch prep—make a few jars on Sunday and you’re set for the week.
The texture gets thicker as it sits, so give it a good stir before eating. If it gets too thick, just add a splash of milk or more protein shake to loosen it up.
FAQs About Chia Protein Pudding
Can I make this dairy-free?
Absolutely! Use a plant-based yogurt and a dairy-free protein shake.
Can I prep multiple jars at once?
Yes—just multiply the ingredients and portion them into separate containers.
Do I have to use Premier Protein Shake?
Not at all. Any protein shake you love will work.
Is this good for weight loss?
It’s high in protein and fiber, so it’s super satisfying without being heavy—great for curbing cravings.
A Power-Packed Jar to Jumpstart Your Day
This chia protein pudding proves that healthy breakfasts don’t have to be boring or time-consuming. Creamy, sweet, and endlessly adaptable, it’s a recipe that earns its spot in your fridge week after week. Try it once, and you’ll wonder how you ever started your day without it.
