Recipe FAQS
Yes this chia seed pudding is healthy enough for breakfast!
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 love this chia pudding topped with homemade granola.
Recipe Pro-Tips
Use a good tasting protein powder for the best tasting chia pudding. I recommend using a whey vanilla protein for this recipe and my favorites are Ballerina Farms and Mindy Body green. For vegan protein I love sprout living vanilla protein (code avocadoskillet for 20% off) or Truvani protein powder.
