If you’ve been following me on Instagram, then you know I’ve been implementing more protein in my diet, and I’ve really been loving the benefits. The increased protein is helping support my strength training workouts, make my hair grow fast, and my meals are leaving me more satiated + fuller longer. I’m excited to continue sharing more of my favorite high-protein recipes with you!
When it comes to high-protein breakfasts, most people reach for eggs. While I love a good cheesy scramble or omelet, I think we can all agree that eggs can get old pretty quickly š So I’ve been experimenting with other delicious and filling breakfast recipes that pack in the protein.
This Overnight Protein Chia Pudding not only gives me that high protein fix, but it’s also loaded with fiber, healthy fats and antioxidants thanks to the combination of Greek yogurt, chia seeds, berries and walnuts.

The health benefits of chia seeds:
If you’re familiar with chia seeds, they’re a superfood you should consider adding into your diet. They’re full of fiber, Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, essential minerals and antioxidants.
Chia pudding is also a great breakfast because you can make it ahead and store in the fridge to enjoy throughout the week. Now, this recipe yields one serving, but can easily be made into a larger batch.
To make Overnight Protein Chia Pudding vegan:
Of course, you can easily swap in your favorite nondairy yogurt! However, do note that the protein content would drop.
