I LOVE this! It’s my new favorite weekday breakfast. I mix it up the night before and let it chill and thicken overnight in the refrigerator. I grab it as I’m heading out in the morning and have it for breakfast once I get to work.
I don’t usually have time to make breakfast before leaving the house in the morning and I don’t have an appetite for much of anything for the first couple of hours after I wake up but once I’m at work and my day is underway I do get hungry and I want to be sure I have a healthy, high quality, protein, fat and fiber based breakfast on hand to keep me energized and satisfied for more than just an hour or two. This chocolate high protein breakfast “pudding” is the perfect way to start the day!
CHOCOLATE BREAKFAST PUDDING
Makes 1-2 servings
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Avocado
- 8-12 ounces of cold filtered water or nut milk
- 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder (use plant protein for vegan/vegetarian)
- 1 tablespoon of cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon of raw honey, or a few drops of liquid stevia, or half of a frozen banana (you just want to have a little sweetness without adding too much sugar)
- 2 – 3 Tablespoons of chia seeds
DIRECTIONS
Place all ingredients except chia seeds in a high powered blender (I use a Nutri-bullet or Vitamix) and blend until smooth. If it’s too thick add a few extra tablespoons of water or nut milk until it’s smooth and creamy but not runny.
Add the chia seeds and stir with a spoon. Place in a container (or leave in the container if you’re using a Nutri-bullet) and refrigerate overnight.
Enjoy for breakfast or lunch.
