Ingredients

Liquid & Dairy

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (from a carton)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese

Flavorings & Add-ins

  • 1/2 inch nub fresh ginger
  • 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the coconut milk, cottage cheese, and fresh ginger. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the ginger is finely incorporated for subtle flavor.
  2. Transfer Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a small bowl or mason jar, preparing it for the addition of dry ingredients.
  3. Mix in Protein and Seeds: Whisk in the vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and cinnamon until all ingredients are fully combined and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Initial Rest and Stir: Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to start absorbing liquid, then stir again to prevent clumping and ensure an even consistency.
  5. Refrigerate: Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the chia seeds fully expand and thicken the pudding.

Notes

  • You can substitute the vanilla protein powder with your favorite flavor or omit if desired.
  • For a thinner consistency, reduce chia seeds to 2 tablespoons or add more coconut milk before serving.
  • Fresh ginger can be replaced with a small pinch of ground ginger powder if fresh is unavailable.
  • This pudding keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Add fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey on top before serving for extra flavor and texture.
