I've been loving chia seed pudding in the morning because the fiber in the chia seeds keeps me full for hours. I've been looking for ways to switch up the flavors so my breakfast wasn't getting boring. I was also looking for a way to pack in more nutrients (shocker to no one). So, I not only added fruit on top, but I blended up frozen fruit to the pudding mixture as well as protein powder. The result, this berry protein chia seed pudding recipe! It has a delicious flavor that is different than my regular chia seed puddings.
Nutritional Benefits Of Chia Seeds & Fruit
This breakfast is a powerhouse of health benefits. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, from the chia seeds, it helps reduce blood pressure and discourages blood clotting.
Depending on what fruits you choose, you're also adding in a variety of nutrients. I love topping this chia seed pudding with fresh fruit to add more textures and nutrients.
Meal Prep Ahead Of Time
And if you're all about convenience (who isn't?), this chia seed pudding is the perfect grab-and-go breakfast. I like doubling or tripling the recipe to have a few days worth in my fridge! I mean, look at how cute they look in these containers!
Topping Customization of This Berry Protein Chia Seed Pudding
And here's the fun part – the toppings! I love adding more fruit on top. The non-dairy yogurt adds creaminess to the dish and makes it fell even more fulling than it already does with the chia seeds. I also love adding goji berries for more nutrients. To note, if you're meal prepping this breakfast, don't put the goji berries on until you are eating it the morning of because they turn soft in the fridge.
So, are you ready to take your mornings to the next level with a spoonful of this amazing high protein and easy Chia Seed Pudding?
