Ingredients you’ll need:

The best part about this high protein chia seed pudding recipe is that it is full of flavor yet uses minimal ingredients. All you’ll need to make this breakfast is:

Chia seeds: I like to buy them in bulk containers like this one and prep two batches of this chia seed pudding to enjoy throughout my week.
Chocolate Core Power: This is what puts the protein into this high protein chia pudding recipe and us available in 26 grams or 42 grams of protein. If you do not have or do not want to use chocolate core power then you can easily use chocolate fair life milk or an unflavored milk instead.
Cacao powder: Use cacao powder OR cocoa powder for an extra chocolate boost. This can be added to taste or skipped if you want only subtle hints of chocolate coming from the chocolate core power.
Maple syrup/honey: This will add some sweetness to your recipe! I would add this to taste but note that the more cacao powder you add, the more sweetener you may need to counteract the natural bitter flavors of the cacao.
Raspberries: Fresh or frozen will work for this recipe.
Optional Toppings: Chocolate chips, whipped cream, or extra fresh raspberries are all delicious topping ideas for this protein chia seed pudding… plus, they are a great way to intrigue your children!

That’s it!

Swaps, substitutions, and serving suggestions:

While you’ll love this high protein breakfast recipe as it’s written there are tons of ways that you can customize it to your liking! Here are a few ideas:

Skip the chocolate: Leave out the cocoa powder and swap the chocolate core power for a different liquid if you want a raspberry chia pudding without the chocolate.
Some other flavors that you could try instead would be to use a vanilla flavored core power for vanilla flavors or unflavored milk and some lemon zest to enhance the natural flavors and sweetness of the raspberries!
Swap your liquid: If you do not have or do not want to use chocolate core power then you can easily swap it out for chocolate fair life milk or keep the protein content lower and just use unflavored milk of your choice.
Use a different fruit: This raspberry chia pudding recipe can easily be replicated using different fruits. If you do not have raspberries on hand then you can swap them for chocolate friendly fruit, like strawberries, instead!
Add protein powder: Want an even higher protein chia seed pudding recipe? Then you can add a scoop of protein powder.
Use frozen raspberries: Don’t have fresh raspberries? No worries! This raspberry chia seed pudding can easily be made with frozen raspberries as well.
Add other nutritious mix ins: You can add other ingredients like oats or ground flax seed for a boost in nutrition or change in texture. If needed you can add a little bit more liquid to thin out the chia pudding recipe if you choose to add other ingredients, like oats, that also absorb liquid.

Recipe FAQ:

Do I have to use Chocolate Core Power?
1. No, you do not! You can easily swap the chocolate core power for chocolate faire life milk (this is higher in protein), unflavored milk for a slightly lower protein breakfast, or go ahead and add some chocolate protein powder if that’s what you have on hand.
How long can I store chia see pudding in the refrigerator?
1. While some people will keep their chia seed pudding in the refrigerator for 5 days, I personally recommend prepping it and storing it for up to 3 days. It get’s much thicker the longer it sits in your refrigerator so you may need to thin it out with some extra liquid.
Can I skip the chocolate?
1. If the raspberry chia seed pudding recipe intrigues you but you want it without the chocolate, you absolutely can leave it out by skipping the cocoa powder and swapping the chocolate core power for a non-chocolate liquid.
  Try blending the raspberries with a vanilla core power instead or keep it really simple and just use an unflavored milk of your choice!
