Step 1

For this recipe, you'll blend your berries, protein powder, lemon zest, vanilla, and optional sweetener with coconut milk in a blender until smooth.

Step 2

Pour the berry mixture into the chia seeds and stir with a whisk or fork until the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Once you have combined your chia seeds with your base liquid, cover and store in the fridge for at least 2 hours until thickened or 8 hours overnight. Be sure to stir your pudding occasionally during this process as the chia seeds tend to settle to the bottom of your base liquid isn't very thick. This also prevents clumps of seeds from forming at the bottom or sides of the container!

Step 3

Once your pudding has set top it with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, granola, or coconut flakes and your chia seed pudding is ready to eat! You don’t have to add toppings, but it can add a ton of extra flavor, just be careful not to overdo it because a lot of extra toppings will alter the nutritional content.
