4 Unique Protein Chia Pudding Recipes

I recently started eating chia pudding again because not only is it delicious, but chia seeds are loaded with nutrients. The only problem is that I get bored of eating the same thing day after day. So I came up with some unique protein chia pudding recipes to keep things interesting!

Chia pudding makes a well balanced breakfast or a sweet treat after dinner. Usually if I'm eating it as dessert I cut the serving size in half so that it's more of a snack size.

One serving of chia seeds contains:

• 11 grams of fat, nearly 60% of which are Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

• 4 grams of complete protein, meaning they contain all 9 essential amino acids

• 2 grams of net carbs, 10/12 carbohydrates are dietary fiber

• 23% daily value of magnesium

• 17% daily value of calcium

• 12% daily value of iron

Each recipe makes 2 meals or 4 snacks

Directions: For each recipe, mix all ingredients together and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Keeps in fridge for up to a week.
