Print Recipe

A quick, drinkable breakfast packed with protein and fiber, perfect for busy mornings. Just stir, refrigerate overnight, and grab on your way out the door.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) chia seeds
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) milk of choice (e.g., unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: dash of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, or fresh berries

Instructions

  1. In a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid, combine chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir with a fork to break up clumps.
  2. Add milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey. If using optional add-ins like cinnamon or cocoa powder, add them now.
  3. Whisk vigorously for at least 30 seconds to break up any clumps. The mixture should look smooth and evenly combined.
  4. Screw the lid on tightly and shake the jar for about 10 seconds. Let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then shake again for 10 seconds.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. In the morning, shake the jar well for 10-15 seconds. If too thick, add a splash of milk and shake again. Drink straight from the jar or pour into a glass.

Notes

For best texture, use room temperature milk and shake the jar twice—once right after mixing and again after 5 minutes. If using plant-based protein powder that clumps, blend the mixture for 10 seconds instead of whisking. The drink keeps in the refrigerator for 4-5 days; add a splash of milk if it thickens too much. Do not freeze.
