    Chia Pudding with Almond Milk

    This recipe for chia pudding with almond milk was inspired by a traditional raw vegan chia pudding. I've been making the Plain and Chocolate Chia Puddings from Living on Raw Food for a few years now, and I thought it was time to add some protein!

    If you've never had a chia pudding before, it has a similar texture to rice pudding. Chia seeds absorb whatever liquid they are in, and give it a thicker consistency.

    The sweetness of this pudding comes from vanilla whey protein, and no other sweetener is necessary. With the cinnamon and vanilla extract, it's delicious!

    For a truly decadent treat, try topping the chia protein pudding with figs and strawberry purée! Simply defrost some frozen strawberries, and either mash them with a fork or pulse them a few times in a food processor. Pour over chia protein pudding topped with chopped figs. One of my favorites!

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups almond milk unsweetened
    • 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • a pinch of sea salt
    • ½ cup natural vanilla whey isolate 45g
    • ⅔ cup chia seeds 128g

    Instructions

    • Put chia seeds in a bowl or food storage container (at least 1 quart in capacity). Set aside.
    • Add vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and whey powder to the almond milk, and blend until combined.
    • Pour mixture over chia seeds, and stir.
    • Let pudding sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. If you can, stir every 10 minutes (this helps avoid clumps of chia seeds).
    • Refrigerate and enjoy!

    Notes

    A note about substitutions: You can substitute vanilla casein protein powder for the whey, but you will need more almond milk. I would not use vegan protein powders in this recipe because they would give a chalky consistency to the pudding.
