High-Protein Blueberry & Peanut Butter Chia Pudding
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

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup nonfat plain strained Greek-style yogurt
- ⅓ cup smooth natural peanut butter
Instructions
- Process 3 cups almond milk, 2 cups blueberries and 2 tablespoons protein powder in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds.

- 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.
