This chia pudding brings together simplicity and convenience – it’s a breeze to whip up and requires minimal effort. Simply mix the ingredients together, let them chill in the refrigerator overnight, and wake up to a creamy, satisfying pudding that’s perfect for breakfast or dessert. Plus, with the added bonus of being able to store it in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze it for up to 6 months, you can enjoy the convenience and deliciousness of this pudding whenever the craving strikes.
These can be meal prepped as well! Feel free to double or even quadruple the recipe and then split the pudding into jars to keep for the week. If you’re not a fan of almond milk (or have something else on hand), practically any low-carb milk will work for this. If you want to change things up, feel free to top with a few berries of your choice or even some chopped nuts for crunch. Change up the flavor of protein powder for a brand new taste each day of the week!
