Meal prep several days of breakfast in just 10 minutes and boost your protein intake with this High-Protein Chia Pudding loaded with over 20 grams of protein and made with only 4 ingredients.
In this week’s high-protein meal prep, I’ve decided to make a High-Protein Vegan Salad for lunch, Cauliflower Pasta for dinner, and my Perfect Bar Recipe, but I needed a high-protein breakfast to start the day and load after my morning workouts.
I could have made my classic Overnight Oats with Protein Powder, which is easy to meal prep, or make a large batch of my Protein Pancakes, but I wanted something fresh and different. And while I have many chia pudding recipes, I wanted something with even more protein!

High Protein Chia Pudding
Ingredients
- 9 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 2 ¼ cups Soy Milk
- 3-6 teaspoons Maple Syrup
- ¾ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Yogurt topping (to divide in each jars)
- 1 ½ cup Plant-Based Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Vanilla Protein Powder
- ¾ cup Raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare 3 glass mason jars.
- In each jar, add 3 tablespoons of chia seeds, 3/4 cup of soy milk, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup.
- Use a fork to stir and break any lumps of chia seeds.
- Close the lid and pop the chia puffing in the fridge to set. Leave it for at least 35 minutes, more if you want to.
- Meanwhile, stir thawed raspberries, protein powder, and yogurt in a large bowl. Stir and mash the raspberries to form a smooth pink yogurt.
- When the chia pudding is set, remove it from the fridge, remove the lid, and divide the raspberry yogurt evenly between each jar. If you like, add a few fresh raspberries on top of the jar. Close the lid.
- Store for up to 4 days in the fridge and eat from the jar.

Ingredients and Substitutions
This recipe is really easy to make, it only takes a handful of ingredients.
- Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses. They are loaded with nutrients, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids, and are rich in protein. Since this is a chia pudding, you can’t substitute this ingredient.
- Soy Milk – Soy milk is a high-protein, dairy-free milk alternative. You can replace it with any plant-based milk, but other milk, including dairy milk, contain less protein.
- Maple Syrup – You can use any type of liquid sweetener, like coconut nectar, brown rice syrup, or agave syrup.
- Vanilla Extract – For more flavor.
Then, you can make the chia pudding even better (and much prettier) with the following optional ingredients;
- Vegan Yogurt – There are many different brands and kinds of plant-based yogurt. If you’re targeting higher protein options, choose soy-based yogurt.
- Vanilla Protein Powder – I use either pea protein powder, peanut protein powder, or almond protein powder. You can find each of these with between 20 and 30 grams of protein per serving.
- Raspberries – Just a few fresh raspberries on top of the jars makes it look absolutely delicious. I also put raspberries in the yogurt for the nice pink color.

Thank you!
I love Chia, but can this be made with not so much carbs in it? I feel it could be a little healthier
You can skip the maple syrup if you like when it’s not sweet, otherwise, you can replace it with sugar-free maple syrup!
