This Protein Coffee Chia Pudding is a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack option that combines the benefits of chia seeds, the energizing boost of coffee, and the muscle-repairing power of protein powder. It’s a creamy, easy-to-make pudding that you prepare by simply mixing the ingredients and refrigerating until thickened, resulting in a satisfying and healthy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor works best)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coffee: Brew fresh coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature to avoid cooking the chia seeds and protein powder prematurely.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, milk, cooled coffee, and protein powder. Stir well to ensure the protein powder is fully incorporated and chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
  4. Serve: Once thickened, give the pudding a good stir before serving. You can top it with nuts, fruit, or a drizzle of honey if desired.

Notes

  • Use any milk of your choice such as almond, soy, or cow’s milk depending on dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the amount of coffee according to your caffeine tolerance and taste preference.
  • Protein powder flavor can be customized; vanilla complements coffee well, but chocolate adds a mocha flavor.
  • For vegan option, use plant-based milk and vegan protein powder.
  • Letting the pudding rest longer enhances the texture and flavor melding.
