Chocolate Chia Pudding with Greek Yogurt (High-Protein Breakfast)

Chocolate Chia Pudding with Greek Yogurt is a creamy, chocolatey, no-cook breakfast made with simple pantry staples that keeps you full and satisfied while supporting a balanced, fiber-rich way of eating.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons chia seeds
3 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 cup Greek yogurt (sub low-fat Greek yogurt or Skyr for more protein)
1 cup milk (any)
2 - 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract ((optional))
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or grated orange zest (optional))

1 Mix 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 cup milk, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, 2 - 3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl until smooth and lump-free. Take a moment to fully dissolve the cocoa so the pudding tastes evenly chocolatey.

2 Add 4 tablespoons chia seeds and whisk well for about 30 seconds. This helps prevent clumps and ensures the pudding thickens evenly.

3 Chill the mixture in the fridge, either in the bowl or divided into jars, overnight.

4 Stir and serve cold. Give it a quick stir before eating and add toppings like fresh berries, banana, nuts, peanut butter, or a drizzle of honey if you like.
