Step 1

In a large bowl (or blender), add milk, yogurt, sweetener, protein powder, collagen (if using) and vanilla. Whisk to combine. If using other flavors, like cacao powder, lemon juice, or freeze dried raspberries, add them at this step also.

Step 2

Add the chia seeds, and whisk to combine. Allow the mixture to sit about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Whisk the chia pudding again. Allow it to sit 5 minutes. Continue with this process, whisking about every 5 minutes, until the mixture has begun to thicken. This prevents the chia seeds from clumping.

Step 4

Refrigerate the chia seed pudding for at least 1 hour, up to 5 days. It will continue to thicken as it chills.
