Notes
- Whisk the base until smooth: Make sure the yogurt, milk, honey, and protein powder are fully combined before adding the chia seeds so the pudding sets with a smooth texture.
- Stir twice: After mixing in the chia seeds, let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then stir again to help keep the seeds from clumping together.
- Use a protein powder you like: The flavor of the protein powder will really come through, so use one that tastes good on its own.
- Let it chill long enough: Protein chia pudding needs a few hours in the fridge to thicken properly, and overnight usually gives it the best texture.
- Adjust the thickness: If it feels too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk before serving.
