A creamy, nutrient-packed pudding loaded with protein, omega-3s, and fiber—perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• Fresh fruit or berries for topping

Instructions

1. In a medium jar or bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using).
