Equipment

  • 1 Glass jar with a lid

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 2 Scoops Vital Proteins Original Collagen Peptides or 1 full serving of your collagen of choice
  • ½ Cup Plant-Based Milk
  • ½ Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Topping Ideas

  • Fruit
  • Cinnamon
  • Nuts
  • Coconut Flakes

Instructions
 

  • Combine the dry ingredients. Pour the chia seeds and the collagen peptides into a glass jar that has a lid. Take a spoon and mix together the chia seeds and collagen until they are evenly combined.
  • Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Pour the plant-based milk and the pure vanilla extract into the glass jar with the chia seeds and collagen.
  • Mix all the ingredients and chill. Using a spoon, mix together the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients until fully combined in the glass jar. Be sure to scrape all around the inside of the container to make sure none of the collagen or chia seeds stick to the jar. Take the chia pudding and set it aside in the fridge for 10 minutes.
    After 10 minutes, take the chia pudding out of the fridge, mix the ingredients together one more time with the spoon and then place a lid on the container and place back in the fridge for at least one hour or even better, let it sit overnight.
  • Top the chia pudding. After the pudding has chilled in the fridge for at least one hour it's ready to eat! Make sure to top the pudding with all your favorite toppings. I enjoy adding nuts, fresh fruits, coconut flakes and cinnamon.

Notes

  • Really make sure you are stirring the chia seed mixture together well with the plant-based milk and working to expose all the seeds to the liquid. Chia seeds tend to want to stick together and if they are not exposed to the liquid, they won't absorb the milk to create the pudding consistency and may come out a bit more soupy.
  • If you are prepping ahead for several days and are doubling or tripling the recipe, make each portion in their own containers. That way you are have even distribution of the ingredients and makes for a quick grab and go option.
  • Toppings can be added to the jar in advance but they are best added right before you plan to eat the chia seed pudding.
