Recipe FAQS
No, you need the yogurt to make these oats creamy.
I do not suggest doing this as it will change both the consistency and flavor. If you must leave out the protein powder then add in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and ½ teaspoon of vanilla.
I like to top my chia pudding with fresh fruit, cacao nibs and bee pollen.
You can use a thick vegan yogurt and dairy free milk. However this will drastically lower the protein content and make the oats less creamy.
Recipe Pro-Tips
Use a good tasting protein powder for the best tasting chia pudding. My favorite whey proteins are Ballerina Farms and Mind Body Green.
I recommend using whey protein for this recipe as vegan protein absorbs more liquid. If you use vegan protein you will need to add more liquid.
