This chia pudding is one of our favorite snacks to pack & go.

The cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein and provides calcium, B vitamins, phosphorus, selenium (essential for metabolism & thyroid function), and live active cultures (important for gut health).

Combined with nuts, seeds, and berries, this scrumptious snack makes a perfect mid-morning snack. Enjoy it halfway between breakfast & lunch and you’ll feel refreshed, satisfied, and full of the energy you need for a productive morning.

You’ll want to make this the night before so the pudding can set. We’ve written the recipe for 2 servings so you’ll have your snack ready to grab & go for the next two days.

Alternative Serving Suggestion:

• If you prefer not to use a blender, you can simply stir together in a bowl the cottage cheese, yogurt, vanilla, syrup, and chia seeds. Divide into 2 containers and store in fridge. Top each serving with 6 oz (1 container) raspberries & 2 tablespoons almonds. The texture will be different, but it will still be delicious!
