    Cha-cha-cha-Chia ...

    Seriously, that's all I hear in my head when I hear the word chia. Growing up in the 90's - during the height of the chia pet craze (ok, craze is too strong of a word, but I'm going with it) I would have never in a billion years imagined that people would be eating chia seeds.

    But alas here we are, and they are a pretty common find at even the most rural grocery stores.

    If you've never eaten chia seeds, then let me fill you in. They are tiny seeds, that get a gelatinous exterior when they get wet. They kind of remind me of crunchy tapioca.

    Because they swell they make an awesome thickener for puddings and jellies. On top of all that they pack a major nutritional punch. 2 tablespoon of chia contains more potassium than a banana, 5 times the calcium of milk, 100% more omega 3's than salmon, plus they are a great source of protein!

    Ingredients for raspberry chia pudding on a  flat surface. This includes fresh raspberries, chia seeds, almonds, and vanilla protein powder.

    One of the foods that I miss the most from my pre-keto days is yogurt. I used to make overnight oats for breakfast almost every single day and I never got tired of them.

    This Raspberry Almond Chia pudding is quickly beginning to take the place of my oats. It has all the same qualities that made the oats my go-to.

    They are AMAZING for meal prep and will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you work a typical 5 day work week, make a big batch of this on Sunday night and you will have them for the entire week!

    They are also great because they fit with pretty much any dietary restriction that you can imagine depending upon the protein powder that you choose. I have linked to the one I use below, but there are some great vegan and paleo proteins out there too.

    I have intentionally left this recipe pretty low in sweetness. I typically don't add any sweetener besides what is in the protein powder, but you can add a few drops of liquid stevia to suit your taste.

      Is it necessary to use the protein powder for this recipe to turn out right?

        Nope 🙂 You may need to add a bit of additional vanilla and sweetener as well as reduce the liquid a bit though.
