High Protein Blueberry & Peanut Butter Chia Pudding

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

This high-protein blueberry and peanut butter chia pudding is a perfect make-ahead breakfast packed with fiber and protein to keep you energized throughout the day. Chia seeds soak up the blended almond milk and blueberries overnight, creating a creamy pudding that’s layered for a peanut butter-and-jelly effect.

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2½ cups blueberries, divided
  • 2 tablespoons plain, unsweetened, plant-based protein powder
  • ¾ cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup plus 1 teaspoon, divided
  • 1¾ teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup nonfat plain strained (greek-style) yogurt
  • ⅓ cup smooth natural peanut butter
Directions:
  1. Process 3 cups almond milk, 2 cups blueberries and 2 tablespoons protein powder in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a medium bowl; whisk in ¾ cup chia seeds, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla and ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until thickened, at least 12 hours.
  2. In a small bowl, stir ¾ cup yogurt, ⅓ cup peanut butter and the remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup and ¾ teaspoon vanilla together until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Spoon 1 cup of blueberry chia pudding into each of 4 jars or small bowls. Spread 2 tablespoons peanut butter mixture over each pudding. Top the puddings evenly with the remaining ½ cup blueberries.
