In this week’s high-protein meal prep, I’ve decided to make a High-Protein Vegan Salad for lunch, Cauliflower Pasta for dinner, and my Perfect Bar Recipe, but I needed a high-protein breakfast to start the day and load after my morning workouts. I could have made my classic Overnight Oats with Protein Powder, which is easy to meal prep, or make a large batch of my Protein Pancakes, but I wanted something fresh and different. And while I have many chia pudding recipes, I wanted something with even more protein!
Ingredients and Substitutions
This recipe is really easy to make, it only takes a handful of ingredients.
Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses. They are loaded with nutrients, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids, and are rich in protein. Since this is a chia pudding, you can’t substitute this ingredient. Soy Milk – Soy milk is a high-protein, dairy-free milk alternative. You can replace it with any plant-based milk, but other milk, including dairy milk, contain less protein. Maple Syrup – You can use any type of liquid sweetener, like coconut nectar, brown rice syrup, or agave syrup. Vanilla Extract – For more flavor.
Then, you can make the chia pudding even better (and much prettier) with the following optional ingredients;
Vegan Yogurt – There are many different brands and kinds of plant-based yogurt. If you’re targeting higher protein options, choose soy-based yogurt. Vanilla Protein Powder – I use either pea protein powder, peanut protein powder, or almond protein powder. You can find each of these with between 20 and 30 grams of protein per serving. Raspberries – Just a few fresh raspberries on top of the jars makes it look absolutely delicious. I also put raspberries in the yogurt for the nice pink color.
