High Protein Raspberry Vanilla Chia Pudding is the quick, nourishing breakfast you’ll want on repeat. This creamy chia pudding gets its richness from Greek yogurt, its sweetness from juicy raspberries, and its staying power from a boost of vanilla protein. It’s bright, refreshing, and satisfying - the kind of make-ahead meal that keeps your mornings effortless and your energy steady. Enjoy it as a grab-and-go breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a lightly sweet treat that still feels wholesome.

Ingredients
- Chia seeds — to thicken the pudding
- Greek yogurt — for creaminess and extra protein
- Milk of choice — to hydrate the chia seeds and create the pudding base
- Vanilla protein powder — adds sweetness, flavor, and additional protein
- Cinnamon — for warmth and subtle spice
- Frozen raspberries — they melt into the pudding and infuse natural berry flavor
Substitutions
- Greek yogurt — Any thick yogurt works here: coconut, sky or greek.
- Milk of choice — Use any milk you like: almond, oat, soy, coconut, or dairy.
- Protein powder — you can omit and add in vanilla + honey and maple syrup but this will drastically lower the protein content!
- Frozen raspberries — Frozen blueberries works as a substitute.
- Cinnamon — Replace with pumpkin spice, cardamom, or leave it out if you prefer it plain.
Storage instructions
The chia seed pudding can be stored in a sealed container or jar in your fridge for up to 5 days. I love to prep my chia pudding the night ahead of time so I can eat it the next day.
Recipe FAQS
Chia seeds are loaded with fiber, which supports digestion and helps keep you fuller for longer. They’re also rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support heart and brain health. Plus, chia seeds provide a good amount of protein and essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, making them a nutrient-dense addition to meals.
I recommend NOT doing this as it will greatly lower the protein content. However if you must do this, you can sub in1 tablespoon maple syrup and ½ teaspoon vanilla.
Raspberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which support immune health and help protect cells from oxidative stress. Their high fiber content supports healthy digestion and helps keep blood sugar more stable. They’re also low in calories but packed with nutrients, making them a great choice for overall wellness.
Recipe Pro-Tips
Choose a protein powder that actually tastes good—this makes all the difference in your chia pudding. I reach for Ballerina Farms or Mind Body Green for whey, and Ora Organic or Truvani for a plant-based option. Quality powders blend smoothly without that chalky, artificial finish.
It is key to use frozen raspberries in this recipe. As the raspberries melt into the pudding they impart flavor.
