Strawberries & Cream High-Protein Chia Pudding
These High Protein Chia Puddings come in two irresistible flavors: Strawberries & Cream and Banana Cream. Both recipes are layered with creamy chia pudding, fresh fruit, and a whipped mousse made from cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. They’re naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup, making them refined sugar–free but still indulgent. Best part? They can be made ahead, stored in the fridge, and enjoyed all week long.NOTE: The image featured in this post was enough for 2 servings.
