Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • zest from 1 lime
  • juice from ½ lime (1-2 tablespoons of juice)*
  • ½ cup cottage cheese or greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons milk of choice (I used whole milk)
  • pinch matcha for color completely optional, just makes the pudding more green
  • 1 serving vanilla protein I used whey protein, if you use vegan protein you will need 2more tablespoons of liquid

Toppings

  • 2-4 tablespoons additional yogurt
  • fresh fruit of choice optional
  • bee pollen optional

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients except for chia seeds to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Add chia seeds to a jar, glass or bowl. Mix together with lime mixture until fully combined. Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight. If you can, I recommend stirring again after 5 minutes to prevent clumps.
  • Once chia pudding is set, top off with yogurt and other desired toppings. Dig in and enjoy.

Notes

*I used the juice from ½ of a lime and found it to be "limey" enough for me. If you want a super limey chia pudding you may want to add more lime, taste once you blend everything together and add more if desired.
