Recipe FAQS
No, this will mess up the consistency of the chia pudding.
I do not suggest doing this as it will alter the consistency and flavor of the chia pudding. If you must leave out the protein powder then add in 1 tablespoon of sweetener and ½ teaspoon of vanilla.
I like to top my chia pudding with fresh fruit, cacao nibs and bee pollen.
Recipe Pro-Tips
Use a good tasting protein powder for the best tasting chia pudding. My favorite whey proteins are Ballerina Farms and Mindy Body Green. For vegan protein I love Ora Organic or Truvani protein powder.
This is a thick chia pudding, if you want it thinner you can add in frozen fruit or a splash of milk.
