Single-Serve Chia Seed Pudding

🍨 Single-Serve Chia Seed Pudding

Ingredients:

• 2-3 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

• ¾ cup water (or adjust for your preferred thickness)

• ¼ cup frozen blueberries & mangoes

Instructions:

1. In a jar or bowl, mix chia seeds, protein powder, and water really well. Stir for about 30 seconds to break up clumps.

2. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again (this stops the seeds from clumping).

3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight if you want it thicker.

4. Top with frozen blueberries and mangoes before serving (they’ll slightly thaw and get juicy).

✅ Tip: If it’s too thick, stir in a splash more water. Too thin? Add ½ tbsp more chia seeds and wait another 30 minutes.

Absolutely! Here are some easy variations on your single-serve chia seed pudding to keep it fun (and help you actually look forward to eating it).
