Recipe: Fully Loaded Peach-Vanilla Chia Pudding Pots

Full of protein and “good for you” fats, these peach-vanilla chia pudding cups are great to keep on hand for some split-second fuel.

If you haven’t hopped on the chia seed pudding bandwagon yet, this is the recipe to try. Heck, even chia seed connoisseurs will go crazy over this combination of vanilla, peaches, almond milk, and yogurt. With a texture almost akin to that of rice or tapioca pudding, chia seed pudding hits all the right buttons for a sweet tooth, but with a hefty dose of fiber, protein, and Omega-3 fatty acids.

For added protein and flavor, we also toss in some hemp seeds, almond butter, granola, and siggi’s vanilla yogurt. The peach-vanilla combination creates a delightfully sweet “peaches and cream” flavor, making this recipe something you can enjoy for dessert, breakfast, or snack time. Just make sure you double the recipe and save some for later—we guarantee you’ll be wanting more.
