Lemon Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon (adjust to taste for tanginess)
- 2 servings vanilla protein powder (I recommend Isopure Zero Carb)
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (plus more for topping)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds or basil seeds
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Base:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Add the vanilla protein powder and whisk until fully incorporated.
2. Add the Seeds and Blueberries:
- Stir in the chia seeds (or basil seeds) and half a cup of fresh blueberries.
- Mix thoroughly to ensure the seeds and protein powder are evenly distributed.
3. Let It Thicken:
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes to let the seeds begin to expand and thicken. Whisk again to break up any clumps.
4. Chill:
- Divide the mixture into two serving cups or jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the seeds have fully absorbed the liquid and the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency.
5. Serve:
- Top the pudding with additional blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest for garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Seed Options: While chia seeds are classic, basil seeds are an excellent alternative, offering double the fiber, calcium, potassium, and iron.
- Protein Powder: A high-quality vanilla protein powder works best to complement the lemon and blueberry flavors.
- Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your protein powder, you may want to add a touch of sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
- Meal Prep: Store the pudding in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks!
