Chia pudding for breakfast? Groundbreaking. And a little boring in 2024. But this peanut butter protein chia pudding is chocolatey, sweet, gooey and all the things you want from a ‘treat’ breakfast with all the goodness of a plain old chia pudding.
It only takes five minutes (maybe less) to prep, and you can make in bulk for the week for a very easy high protein vegan breakfast. A regular chia pudding doesn’t have much to it, and you’d probably have to bulk it up with fresh fruit or nuts/ granola – something with a little more substance. This chia pudding on the other hand contains a scoop of protein and peanut butter automatically adding more volume and making it more satiating.

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION
Each serving of this recipe contains 416 calories, 10g of fibre and 34g of protein. It also provides your full recommended daily amount of vitamin K, 5mg of iron, 44% of your daily vitamin E, and a quarter of your daily B3 and B6.
INGREDIENT CHOICES AND SUBSTITUTIONS
I’ve opted for peanut butter protein here. If you don’t have any, plain vanilla or chocolate will work, as will any peanut variation such as peanut cookie or chocolate peanut. To make mine I used sweetened dairy free milk, but I prefer dishes like this a little sweeter and didn’t want to add a huge amount of syrup. You can use unsweetened milk if you prefer.
HOW TO STORE AND KEEP
Keep your pots as airtight as possible, I used Kilner jars as they have a lid seal and store in the fridge for up to four days.
