Recipe FAQS
No, you need the yogurt to make these oats creamy.
I don’t recommend omitting the protein powder because it will affect both the texture and flavor. If you do leave it out, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to make up for the sweetness and flavor.
I like to top my chia pudding with cacao nibs, more fruit and bee pollen.
You can use a thick vegan yogurt and dairy-free milk, but keep in mind that the oats won’t be quite as creamy and the protein content will be significantly lower.
Dates yield a natural caramel flavor.
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 the best consistency. Plant-based protein tends to absorb more liquid, so if you use it, you’ll need to add extra milk.
