Peanut Butter Cup Chia Pudding

What Is Chia Pudding:

Chia pudding is an easy pudding that takes minutes to make and thickens in the refrigerator. Chia seeds are nutrient-pack little seeds that swell to create a thick, seedy, pudding and are filled with fiber, omega-3’s, and antioxidants. When mixed with liquid chia seeds start to create a pudding within minutes. Chia seeds and milk might not taste like much, but add a little fruit and flavor and chia pudding becomes a deliciously easy snack, meal, or even dessert.

• This peanut butter cup chia pudding is full of omega-3s
• It’s a quick and easy snack or meal that takes less than 5 minutes to make
• It’s a perfect meal prep breakfast idea for the entire week
• Chia pudding is a healthy and filling breakfast or snack
• Cacao powder is a great source of antioxidants and tastes amazing
• Chia protein pudding is vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, and plant-based 

• Chia seeds: to soak up the liquid and turn it into a pudding that supports blood sugar regulation and provides healthy fats and fiber
• Protein:  good source of protein and provides satiety for a blood sugar balancing meal 
• Cacao powder: a chocolate superfood that aids in digestion, reduces inflammation, and improves  circulation
• Peanut butter: healthy fat to increase satiety and make it taste like a peanut butter cup 
• Milk: any plant-based milk will work, I really like coconut milk in this recipe
• Fruit: add some fresh or frozen fruit to make a complete meal with healthy carbs to give you energy, I like banana slices in this peanut butter cup flavor
• Granola: I like to add some granola for crunch to make it a more satisfying meal but is optional 

• This recipe is for one breakfast-size portion or two snack-size portions
• I like to mix it up and do 1 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds and 1 1/2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• Adjust the liquid-to-chia seed ratio depending on your preferred consistency. If you like it thicker add 3/4 cup of milk if you like it thinner add milk to your desired consistency
• I love this peanut butter cup chia pudding with 1/2 a sliced banana, but other fruits work just as well
• Easily double, triple, or quadruple the recipe to make enough for a week of breakfast
