Chia & Oat Pudding

I had never tried chia seeds before and decided to take the plunge when I saw them on the shelf next to the quinoa in the health food isle.

Then I had to look up recipes. I tried a few which were not as amazing as I had hoped. Lucky for me, I am not afraid to make it up as I go & this is the result.


This recipe is best made a few hours prior to consumption to give the chia seeds time to soak.

Start with a heatproof bowl or container (with a lid if you plan on taking it to work like I do).

Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds

Add 2 tablespoons of oats

Add 1 tablespoon of protein powder. In this case, I have banana. The main role of the protein powder is provide flavour. Chai seeds & oats on their own can be pretty flavourless.

1/2 cup milk

Refrigerate for a few hours

Microwave on high for 1 minute. You might need to add a bit of extra milk after it comes out of the microwave.

Give it a good stir & enjoy!!
