Chef's Note
For an extra protein boost, you can add a tablespoon of collagen peptides to each serving. The key to perfect chia pudding is whisking twice during the initial setup to prevent clumps from forming. If you prefer a smoother texture, try blending half the chia mixture before adding the seeds.

Ingredients
1 cup chia seeds
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
4 scoops vanilla protein powder
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup toasted almonds
1/4 cup hemp seeds
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups almond milk, 4 scoops vanilla protein powder, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons honey until well combined and no lumps remain.
- 2
Add 1 cup chia seeds to the mixture and whisk thoroughly to prevent clumping.
- 3
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps that may have formed.
- 4
Fold in 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until fully incorporated.
- 5
Divide the mixture evenly among six glass jars or containers with lids. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- 6
For the berry compote, wash all berries thoroughly. Hull and quarter 2 cups strawberries. Leave 1 cup blueberries whole. Gently rinse 1 cup raspberries.
- 7
In a medium saucepan, combine 1½ cups of the mixed berries (saving the rest for topping), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
- 8
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the berries start to break down and release their juices.
- 9
Reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- 10
While the compote cools, toast ½ cup almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Let cool, then roughly chop.
- 11
Toast ¼ cup coconut flakes in the same skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove and let cool.
- 12
When ready to serve, top each chia pudding with a generous spoonful of berry compote, a sprinkle of the remaining fresh berries, 1 tablespoon chopped toasted almonds, 1 teaspoon hemp seeds, and 1 teaspoon toasted coconut flakes.
- 13
Drizzle each serving with the remaining 1 tablespoon honey divided equally.
- 14
If not serving immediately, store assembled puddings in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add the crunchy toppings just before serving to maintain texture.
