CHIA PUDDING
Serves 2
2 cups of your milk of choice, preferably nut, rice, soy or coconut (nothing lite or low fat) 6 tablespoons of chia seeds 1 scoop of your protein powder, I recommend a whey protein powder. The flavour is a matter of personal taste. Vanilla is an easy base protein powder, as you can add anything to it.
Fruit – add 1/2 cup of fruit of choice, preferably berries. Add a teaspoon of maple or honey to sweeten if you wish to.

Mix protein powder, milk and chia thoroughly, cover and refrigerate overnight. The next morning serve it with what ever fruit you like with some maple syrup or honey.
