Description
Delicious and healthy overnight chia pudding packed with plant based protein and a kick of caffeine/coffee. This protein pudding makes for a nutrient dense breakfast that’s naturally gluten free and easy to make ahead!
Want to make it a vegan mocha? Use chocolate coconut milk or add in dark chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6– 8 oz vanilla coconut drinking milk or almond milk
- 2/3 cup chia seeds (I use ground chia)
- 1 scoop Vanilla Vegan Protein {I used Vega One Vanilla}
- 3–6 oz brewed coffee or espresso (brewed in water or almond/coconut milk) Extra for topping
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ripe Banana
- Optional maple syrup or vegan caramel syrup (see notes for recipe)
- optional gluten free granola topping.
Instructions
- First, blend your protein, banana , and milk together. Set aside.
- Make a 4-6oz cup of coffee with instant espresso or coffee. You can also use just leftover coffee. Brewed in water or mixed with almond milk (either work). Save 1/4 cup for the next day.
- Pour 1/4 cup chia seed in to 2 -3 jar or glasses. Pour a little of your coffee mix at the bottom of each cup. Mix together.
- Next, pour half your protein shake mix on top of each jar. Add 1 -2 tbsp more on top. Mix chia seeds evenly or just let them soak and sit. Pour vanilla extract (or caramel syrup, if you are using it) into each jar. Set in fridge for at least 4-6 hrs, or overnight.
- Feel free to top the chia pudding with granola, oats, nuts, and leftover instant coffee/vegan latte!
