breakfastChocolate Strawberry Protein Chia Pudding
High protein and vegan chia pudding. Running soaked chia seeds through the blender yields a smooth and creamy texture, similar to regular pudding! This is the perfect meal prep option for breakfast if you have a sweet tooth.
Maddi MillerIngredients
- 2 cups Frozen strawberries
- 6 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 2.5 cups Soy Milk
- 2 servings Vegan protein powder
- 5 tbsp Cocoa powder
- .5 tsp Salt
- to taste Optional- Sweetener
- Optional (kind of) dairy free whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- 1Add chia seeds and plant based milk to your blender. Cover and let sit for about 5 minutes.
- 2Stir the chia seeds and milk inside the blender to remove any large clumps of chia seeds. This will insure that they soak up the maximum amount of liquid. Alternatively, let the blender do the work and blitz the mixture for a few seconds.
- 3Place the covered blender in the fridge and let the seeds soak for 6-8 hours. Soaking the chia seeds first will help with blending.
- 4Remove your blender from the fridge and add the rest of the ingredients except the whipped cream. Blend until smooth, adding liquid if your blender is struggling too much. If your blender isn’t super strong, consider thawing the strawberries a bit so they aren’t as tough.
- 5Portion out your chia pudding into 4 small containers or 1 big one. When you’re ready to serve, top with dairy free whipped cream, extra cocoa powder, strawberries, or whatever your heart desires!

Quick Tips
- 1
Soften the cream cheese
Let 8 oz sit on the counter 30 to 45 minutes before mixing. Cold cream cheese leaves lumps in fluff that no amount of beating will smooth out.
- 2
Whip the cream cold
Chill the bowl and beaters 10 minutes and whip heavy cream to stiff peaks before folding it in, so the fluff holds its shape in the fridge.
- 3
Let chia pudding set
Stir, wait 5 minutes, then stir again to break up clumps, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight for a thick spoonable pudding.
- 4
Cool caramel before tasting
Sugar-free caramel runs hot and thickens as it sits. Give it 10 to 15 minutes off the heat before you judge the texture.
