Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 25 grams (2 tbsp) chia seeds
- 1 tbsp sugar-free blueberry jam
- 1 to 2 tsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) milk of choice
Cheesecake Layer
- 80 grams (1/3 cup) Greek yogurt
- Sweetener of choice (optional, to taste)
- A sprinkle of cocoa powder
Protein Option
- 2 tbsp protein powder (recommendation: whey)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, mix the chia seeds, sugar-free blueberry jam, maple syrup or honey, and milk thoroughly using a whisk or fork until well combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and refrigerate overnight or at least for 2 hours to allow the chia seeds to soak the milk and form a pudding-like consistency.
- Prepare Cheesecake Layer: Before serving, transfer the Greek yogurt into a small bowl and stir it until creamy. Add additional sweetener such as maple syrup, honey, or your preferred sweetener if you want a sweeter yogurt layer.
- Assemble: Top the cold blueberry chia pudding with the creamy Greek yogurt layer and sprinkle cocoa powder on top for garnish and added flavor.
- Protein Powder Addition (Optional): For a higher protein content, stir in 2 tablespoons of protein powder into the chia mixture before refrigerating. Add more milk if needed to achieve your desired pudding consistency.
Notes
- Use any milk of choice such as dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk depending on dietary preferences.
- The sweetness can be adjusted to taste by varying the amount of maple syrup, honey, or sweetener.
- The pudding needs at least 2 hours to set, but overnight chilling yields the best texture.
- Protein powder is optional but recommended to boost protein content, especially if consumed as a post-workout meal.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder.
