This is for you if you like incredibly easy meals & don’t want to waste your time in the kitchen this summer! PB&J Chia Pudding is delicious, satisfying & can be eaten as a meal, snack or dessert. And it’s ready for travel if you need a snack for the road! Bonus: it’s extremely nutritious!
Collagen supplementation has been shown to tighten & strengthen the entire digestive system (this is a big deal, especially for those of us who have IBS or leaky gut). It can also boost muscle gain with lifting, mediate the effects of aging & improve bone, joint, skin & cardiovascular health!
Chia seeds are rich in fiber, antioxidants & magnesium. This means they help keep us regular, our bones strong, protect us from aging & disease, make us feel full & prevent blood sugar spikes!
Directions
If using frozen berries, place them in a bowl to slightly thaw.
In a separate jar, add the milk, sunflower seed butter, pinch of salt, whey isolate, stevia and collagen.
Shake well until the sunflower seed butter has been incorporated with the milk.
Add the chia seeds and shake again to combine.
Leave on the counter for 5 minutes, shake again and then divide the mixture evenly between 2 jars.
Set both jars in the fridge until you're ready to eat (ideally let them sit for a minimum of 45 min).
To serve: mix in the berries & any toppings you like! A little coconut milk over top will taste great! (see Notes for more ideas)
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp sunflower seed butter
1/4 tsp stevia powder (to taste or maple syrup/honey)
1/4 cup Chia Seeds
3/4 cup fresh or frozen berries
Pinch of sea salt
4 scoops collagen powder
2 scoops vanilla whey isolate, Schinoussa is my fave!
Notes
Toppings - Full-fat coconut milk or coconut whipped cream, chopped walnuts or almonds, toasted coconut flakes, sliced banana & cacao nibs are all great with this!
No Almond Milk? - Use any unsweetened non-dairy milk. I will sometimes use 1/2 cup of full-fat coconut milk with 1/2 cup of filtered water.
Switch it up! - Use unsweetened almond butter, hazelnut butter or macadamia nut butter. Or to reduce the calories, use powdered almond or peanut butter.
