- strawberries
- greek yogurt
Substitutions
- milk - dairy or vegan milk works here.
- greek yogurt- you can use greek yogurt instead or use coconut yogurt for a vegan option.
- strawberries - I think about ⅓-1/2 a cup of raspberries would work but you would have to play around with the consistency.

You need a blender for this recipe.
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 an extra tablespoon of chia seeds, 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.
