Vanilla Blended Chia Pudding
A vanilla pudding that's rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats for a breakfast, lunch or snack.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 2-3 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 whole vanilla bean
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- Toppings: berries (strawberries, blueberries) and whipped cream
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor, adding chia seeds last. Blend till smooth, scraping down the sides every so often - at least 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Place in individual cups or one large storage container and let sit for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Spoon into individual serving cups and eat plain or with topping suggestions. These are great as a dessert, snack, or breakfast!
Notes
- Chocolate chia pudding - add 2 tablespoons of carob (HYH) or cacao powder.
- Cottage cheese recommendations - Daisy, Breakstone's, or Friendship Dairies.
- Protein boost - Add one scoop of favorite protein powder, if desired. I use Sprout Living Pumpkin Seed Protein.
