Pineapple protein chia seed pudding parfait

Looking for a healthy, delicious breakfast or snack that’s both quick and easy to prepare? Try this Pineapple Protein Chia Seed Pudding Parfait! Combining the tropical sweetness of pineapple with the health benefits of chia seeds and protein powder, this parfait is perfect for fueling your day while keeping you satisfied.

Ingredients:

1 cup almond milk
240g
1 scoop whey protein powder
30g
1/4 cup canned pineapple
60g
2 tbsp chia seeds
24g

Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour in the almond milk and add the whey protein powder. Stir well until the protein powder is fully dissolved and there are no lumps remaining.
2. Add Chia Seeds: Gradually sprinkle in the chia seeds while stirring constantly to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
3. Prepare Pineapple: Take your canned pineapple and chop it into small bite-sized pieces if it isn't already. Drain any excess liquid from the pineapple pieces to avoid making the pudding too watery.
4. Incorporate Pineapple: Add the chopped pineapple pieces to the bowl with the chia seed mixture and stir well to evenly distribute the fruit.
5. Set the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a jar or container with a lid. Place it in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
6. Check Consistency: After the mixture has chilled, check the thickness. If you prefer a thicker pudding, you can add more chia seeds and let it sit for another 30 minutes. If it's too thick, stir in a little more almond milk until you reach the desired consistency.
7. Assemble the Parfait: Once your chia pudding is ready, you can start layering your parfait. Begin with a layer of chia seed pudding at the bottom of your parfait glass or jar.
8. Add Layers: Continue to layer with additional pineapple pieces, if desired, or other fruits like berries or banana slices for added variety and flavor.
9. Final Touches: You can top the parfait with a sprinkle of granola, nuts, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to enhance the sweetness and add a bit of crunch.
10. Serve: Enjoy your Pineapple Protein Chia Seed Pudding Parfait immediately, or keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. It makes for a great breakfast, snack, or dessert!

Tips:

- Use unsweetened almond milk to control the sweetness of the parfait.

- Allow the chia seeds to soak for at least 2 hours or overnight for a thicker, pudding-like consistency.

- Experiment with different flavors of whey protein powder for variety, such as vanilla or coconut.

- For added texture and flavor, top the parfait with granola, nuts, or fresh fruit before serving.

- Ensure that the pineapple is well-drained to prevent the parfait from becoming too watery.

This Pineapple Protein Chia Seed Pudding Parfait is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or enjoy as a mid-day snack. Quick to prepare and packed with protein and fiber, it offers a perfect balance of flavors and health benefits. Give it a try and enjoy a burst of tropical goodness in every bite!
