Print Recipe

A healthy twist on the classic cheesecake, this pudding is rich in protein and perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (almond or dairy)
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, blended
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (high protein)
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or low-calorie sweetener
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional, vanilla or unflavored)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (optional, for richer texture)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the chia seeds: In a bowl, combine your 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of milk. Stir them well to ensure that all the seeds are submerged.
  2. Let it rest: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes or overnight.
  3. Blend your strawberries: Toss 1/2 cup of fresh or thawed strawberries into a blender. Blend on high until smooth.
  4. Mix in yogurt and sweetener: Once your chia seeds have jellied up, add in the blended strawberries, 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, and 1-2 tablespoons of honey or your preferred sweetener into the chia mixture. Stir well.
  5. Add cream cheese and protein powder (optional): If you’re using them, mix in 2 tablespoons of cream cheese and 1 scoop of protein powder.
  6. Flavor boost: If you’re feeling fancy, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for that delightful aroma.
  7. Chill again: Cover the bowl again and let it chill in the fridge for at least another 60 minutes.
  8. Serve! Once it’s all set, give it a good stir and scoop it into bowls or dessert cups.
