- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup almond milk powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Combine yogurt and protein powder: In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of plain yogurt with 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder. Stir well to begin blending the creamy base.
- Add almond milk powder: Add 1/4 cup of almond milk powder to the mixture and stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly blended for added creaminess and nutrition.
- Mix in vanilla extract: Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract and then add an additional teaspoon of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor to deepen the pudding’s aroma.
- Add chia seeds and cinnamon: Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds followed by 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to add texture, fiber, and a subtle warming spice to the pudding.
- Pour in milk: Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of low-fat milk, stirring continuously to prevent any clumps from forming and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Add rolled oats: Stir in 1/4 cup of rolled oats to contribute a hearty texture and additional fiber to the pudding.
- Add remaining chia seeds: Add the second tablespoon of chia seeds and mix well to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture for extra nutritional benefits.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds and oats to absorb moisture and thicken the pudding.
- Stir before serving: After chilling, give the pudding a good stir to ensure a smooth and consistent texture before serving.
- Serve: Scoop the pudding into individual bowls or jars and enjoy a creamy and protein-rich banana pudding yogurt.
