A few weeks ago I started a new meal plan with Gauge Girl Training. I have been in a slump and I wanted to change things up a bit with my eating. I was always feeling hungry and my body fat was creeping up. It may have had something to do with the fact that I LOVE LOVE LOVE peanut butter. So I heard about the custom meal plans with Gauge Girl Training, so I thought I would give it a try. I got my meal plan and I noticed there were a lot of protein shakes on it. I do get a bit tired of the plain old protein shake, so I tried a new twist on my protein shakes. I made it into a protein chia pudding and now I am addicted. So I wanted to share my recipe with you. I eat it as post workout breakfast or in the evening for a little dessert treat. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Chia Pudding (serves 1)
1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds
½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (you can use any milk here)
2 Tablespoons PB2 or other powdered peanut butter
1 scoop or 1 serving of chocolate protein powder (I use the chocolate flavored Orgain)
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. I like to leave mine in longer. Enjoy!
Here is the nutrition breakdown based on my recipe:

*Note: I have tried this with a whey isolate protein powder as well and it was a bit runny, so you may need to adjust your milk ratio a bit and use less if you have a different type of protein powder. It still tasted great!
