At least 30g+ protein per serve and a fun layered treat for your week!
Make me in a simple container, a jar or a glass. If you don't have time for 2 layers, add the greek yoghurt to the choc layer and disregard the matcha layer. Chia seeds are packed with omega-3s, fibre, protein, antioxidants, and minerals and an easy option to add to brekky cereals or puddings to support your digestive health.
Recipe for 1 serving
Choc Chia Pudding (Base Layer)
🍫 3 tbsp hemp protein powder (about 21g protein)
🍫 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
🍫 4 tbsp chia seeds
🍫 1 tbsp cocoa powder
🍫 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Mix everything in a jar, cover, and refrigerate overnight to thicken.
Matcha Yogurt Layer
🍵 ½ cup high-protein Greek yogurt (about 17g protein per serve)
🍵 1 tsp pure matcha powder
🍵 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Stir together and layer over the chia pudding.
Toppings
🥝 ½ kiwi (skin on for fibre - Adding kiwi boosts fibre content for digestion and fullness)
🍓 A few raspberries
🥜 A few pistachios (can sub for walnuts or cashews for a dose of healthy fat and to support satiety)
✨ ½ tsp chia and hemp seeds
💚 1 tsp pistachio cream (optional but amazing!)
Method
1 Prepare the choc chia pudding layer the night before. Combine all base ingredients, mix well, and refrigerate overnight.
2 In the morning, mix the matcha yogurt layer and spoon it on top of the pudding.
3 Add your toppings for flavour, crunch, and extra nutrition!
Creamy, chocolatey, and chia-packed goodness in every bite!
