Ingredients
  

  • Chia seeds: Whole black or white chia seeds work the same.
  • Milk of choice: Almond, oat, soy, dairy, or coconut milk. Choose unsweetened if you want to control sweetness.
  • Vanilla protein powder: Whey, plant-based, or collagen-based blends all work. Pick one you actually like the taste of.

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the liquids and protein powder. In a bowl or jar, add 1 cup milk and 1 scoop vanilla protein powder. Whisk or shake until completely smooth with no clumps.
  • Add chia seeds. Stir in 3 tablespoons chia seeds. Mix well so seeds are evenly dispersed.
  • Let it sit, then stir again. Rest for 10 minutes, then stir once more to break up any settling or clumping.
  • Chill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the thickest texture.
  • Adjust texture. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk and stir. If it’s thin, add 1 teaspoon more chia, stir, and chill 20–30 minutes.
  • Serve. Enjoy as is, or top with fresh fruit, nut butter, granola, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
