You wanted a creamy, protein-packed breakfast or snack that keeps you full and energized? Say no more😋

Not only does this recipe deliver on taste and nutrition, but it also features chia seeds, tiny powerhouses loaded with benefits. Chia seeds are rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals—helping support digestion, heart health, and sustained energy. Plus, they absorb liquid and expand, giving you that thick, satisfying texture while keeping you fuller longer.

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients (Makes 2 servings)

  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk alternative)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unflavored nonfat Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess & protein)
  • 1 cup fresh berries

Instructions

  1. In a jar or protein shaker, mix together the protein powder and milk until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds, vanilla extract, greek yogurt, and sweetener (if using).
  3. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until thickened.
  5. Before serving, stir in Greek yogurt and top with berries.
