Hey friends! how is the day I hope you are enjoying your morning. I’m so glad you’re excited about Spring Shape Up! 200 of you have already signed up 🙂 Make sure to grab your spot now if you want to join the fun.
For today’s post, I’m re-sharing this recipe because it’s something we’ve had for breakfast a lot lately!
Chocolate Protein Chia Pudding
With our crazy morning schedules, I’m a big fan of anything I can make ahead of time for breakfast. We love things like this breakfast cookie, this protein oatmeal bake, and this vegan peach oatmeal bake. While breakfast is waiting, it guarantees I’ll eat something in the morning, because sometimes it’s too busy here to scramble a normal egg until both kiddos drop off.
Here’s a chia protein pudding recipe our whole family loves! It’s protein-packed, full of healthy fats, and high in fiber, so when I pair it with scrambled eggs I feel full and satisfied for hours. You can customize it by adding any fruit or toppings you want. My go-tos are berries, cacao nibs and unsweetened coconut.
Here is a healthy recipe if you want to try it!
