1 tablespoon peanut butter
pinch sea salt

Cups - Metric

Instructions

Add the ground chia seeds to a microwave-safe bowl. See notes for stovetop directions.
Add the milk, sweetener, and vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, and pinch of salt.
Stir everything together, making sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Let it sit for one minute, then stir again. This helps prevents lumps of chia seeds from forming together.
Next, transfer the bowl to a microwave and cook in 30-second increments until heated through. This usually takes around 1 minute, depending on the strength of your microwave. Let it sit in the microwave until cool enough to handle.
Serve as is or add toppings, such as granola, whipped cream, chocolate chips, fresh fruit, and more.

Notes

Stovetop Chia Pudding

Place the chia seeds and milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Toppings

Add fresh fruit, some peanut butter granola, or even drizzles of date caramel sauce for the perfect chia pudding breakfast!
