Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 0.5 cup Soy Milk
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 0.25 cup Dragon Fruit (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
Yogurt Layer
- 0.5 cup Coconut Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Protein Powder
Toppings
- Dragon Fruit Chunks (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a glass mason jar, stir together the chia seeds, mashed dragon fruit, and soy milk. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add the maple syrup, and mix well. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until the pudding firms up.
- Prepare yogurt layer: Once the chia pudding has thickened, mix together the coconut yogurt and protein powder in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble layers: After refrigerating, remove the chia pudding from the fridge. If any lumps have formed, stir it again for a smooth consistency. Spread the yogurt mixture on top and garnish with chunks of fresh dragon fruit for an eye-catching finish.
- Store and enjoy: This delightful treat can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh or properly thawed frozen dragon fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust maple syrup to your desired sweetness level or substitute with honey or agave nectar.
- Protein powder type can vary based on dietary preference (whey, plant-based, etc.).
- Make sure to stir the chia pudding well before refrigerating to prevent clumping.
- This pudding can be made the night before for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
