Description

A delicious and nutritious High-Protein Banana Chia Pudding that combines ripe bananas, chia seeds, collagen powder, and dairy-free milk to create a creamy, protein-packed breakfast or snack. This naturally sweet pudding is easy to prepare, vegan-friendly (except for collagen), and perfect for those seeking a gluten-free and wholesome start to their day.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe Banana
  • 1 cup Dairy-free milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 3 tbs Collagen powder
  • ½ cup Chia seeds
  • 1 tbs Maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp Cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend Banana Mixture: In a blender, combine the ripe banana, vanilla extract, dairy-free milk, and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth and well combined.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the chia seeds, collagen powder, and optional cinnamon to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the blended banana mixture into the bowl with chia seeds and collagen powder. Stir thoroughly to combine everything evenly.
  4. Let Set and Stir Again: Allow the pudding to sit for five minutes to let the chia seeds start absorbing the liquid, then stir the mixture again to prevent clumping.
  5. Refrigerate: Portion the pudding into jars or containers and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to achieve a thick, creamy consistency. Top with your favorite toppings before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and creaminess.
  • Maple syrup can be adjusted or substituted with honey if not strictly vegan.
  • Collagen powder adds protein but is not vegan; omit or replace with plant-based protein powder for a vegan version.
  • Refrigeration time is essential for chia seeds to fully expand and thicken the pudding.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy as a quick breakfast or high-protein snack.
  • Optional cinnamon adds a warm, spicy flavor but can be omitted.
  • For creamier texture, blend longer or mash the banana well before mixing.
