Small Blender

Ingredients

¼ cup milk, any type
¼ cup low-fat cottage cheese
½ cup strawberries
2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons chia seeds
Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, diced strawberries, crushed graham crackers, granola

Instructions

Add milk, cottage cheese, strawberries, protein powder, and maple syrup to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a mason jar or other container and add the chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, stir the pudding to break up any lumps. If desired, stir in a little milk to loosen up the pudding. Then, top the chia pudding with desired toppings like Greek yogurt, diced strawberries, crushed graham crackers or granola.

Notes

Nutritional information is for skim milk.

- Use any type of milk you prefer- dairy milk or dairy-free milk like almond milk, oat milk, soy milk or even coconut milk.
- Adjust the sweetness with more maple syrup, honey, or sweetener of choice like monk fruit sweetener or Stevia. You can also add in some vanilla extract.
- I love strawberries in this dish but other fruit will work, like blueberries, raspberries or mango. You can use fresh or frozen.
- For a single serving, I recommend using a small blender cup. If using a large blender, consider doubling the recipe (at least) to ensure everything blends well.
- This chia pudding is perfect for meal prep- make a large batch on Sunday and enjoy it all week long.
