I’ve been dreaming of everything tropical lately, and this Coconut Chia Protein Pudding is the perfect tropical treat!
The Vitamin Shoppe’s True Athlete all-natural vanilla whey protein powder gives the pudding a very creamy, indulgent feel. Every time I stirred it (and then licked the spoon) I thought to myself, “Wow. This is so creamy!” The pudding reminded me of a thick, creamy tropical drink you’d get on the beach in the Caribbean. So I’m officially a fan of the True Athlete line!
This recipe is similar to those for my Chia Protein Pudding and Chocolate Chia Protein Pudding, only that instead of cashews or almonds, this recipe uses coconut butter. And I’ve chosen to use the white chia seeds here for aesthetics, although black would work just as well in the recipe.
This Coconut Chia Protein Pudding is delicious with pineapple, too! But I would stick to small pineapple pieces so you don’t lose the delicious coconut flavor of the pudding.
Bring yourself to a tropical place with this Coconut Chia Protein Pudding!
