This High Protein Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding combines the natural sweetness of strawberries and banana with the creamy texture of Greek yogurt and protein powder, creating a nutritious and delicious pudding that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack. The recipe features a strawberry banana smoothie base mixed with chia seeds to achieve a thick, pudding-like consistency packed with protein and fiber.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Smoothie Base

  • 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 banana
  • 2 cups milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 3 scoops vanilla or unflavored protein powder

Chia Pudding

  • 3 cups strawberry banana smoothie (prepared from above ingredients)
  • ¾ cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Smoothie Base: In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, banana, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), and protein powder. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated to form a strawberry banana smoothie.
  2. Mix with Chia Seeds: Pour 3 cups of the prepared smoothie into a large bowl or container. Add ¾ cup of chia seeds and stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the seeds in the smoothie base.
  3. Refrigerate to Thicken: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid, thickening the mixture into a pudding-like texture.
  4. Serve: Once thickened, stir the pudding again and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberries, banana slices, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Use plant-based milk to make this recipe vegan.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup if desired.
  • The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For extra texture, sprinkle granola or nuts on top before serving.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, reduce the chia seeds slightly or add more milk.
