Peanut Butter and Jelly Chia Seed Pudding

Peanut Butter and Jelly Chia Seed Pudding is one of my favorite lunch treats.

Chia seed pudding has been my lunch or afternoon snack every day for the last year. It is one of the ways that I have added more fiber to my diet.

Chia seeds are also one of the ways I have worked on improving my gut health, with my health issues.

I like to change it up and make different flavors, but peanut butter and jelly chia seed pudding is one of my favorites.

I will say that chia seed pudding does not photograph well, especially when you mix in peanut butter and jelly.

But it is delicious!

I can easily make it high-protein, and it tastes like a dessert.

My recipe is a little different than others that I have seen.

I use a high-protein milk and also add Vital Proteins Collagen.

I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. You can use Greek yogurt, but I don’t love Greek yogurt, so I use plain or vanilla yogurt.

Instead of peanut butter, I use peanut butter powder. I love the flavor it gives the chia seed pudding.

I also like my chia seed pudding thick, so I use a little extra chia seed.

Most recipes for chia seed pudding also have you letting the chia sit for 10 minutes to a couple of hours. I think it is so much better if it sets overnight. It has a better texture, and I think it is easier to digest as well.

To mix the milk, protein powder, and PB Powder, I use a milk frother. It works great and gives you the perfect texture.

Ingredients

• high protein milk ( see note below )
• 4 scoops of Vital Proteins Collagen
• 4 tablespoons Peanut Butter Powder ( I use PB Fit)
• 8 ounces vanilla yogurt
• 9 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons jam or jelly
