A breakfast that’s quick to prepare, keeps you full for hours, and tastes genuinely delicious? That’s exactly what you’ll get with this protein chia pudding featuring chocolate hazelnut flavour.

Protein chia pudding is perfect as a meal-prep breakfast or a snack in between. Preparation takes less than five minutes, and the fridge does the rest. That makes it the ideal option for anyone with limited time in the morning or those looking to eat more mindfully.
Why Chia Seeds and Protein Powder Are a Perfect Match
Chia seeds are tiny powerhouses: they’re rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fibre, which help keep you full and support digestion. Combined with liquid, they swell up and take on a pudding-like texture – perfect for overnight recipes.
When paired with a high-quality plant-based protein powder like our WAM Protein in chocolate hazelnut flavour, a simple pudding turns into a proper power breakfast. The protein supports muscle recovery, helps build lean muscle mass, and can reduce cravings.
Our WAM Protein is intentionally not too sweet or overpowering – it adds pleasant chocolate hazelnut notes to the chia pudding without overshadowing the flavour of your toppings. This keeps your breakfast flexible, nutrient-rich, and well-balanced.
Ingredients for 1 serving:
-
1 teaspoon sweetener of your choice (e.g. agave syrup, date syrup or maple syrup)
-
350 ml plant-based milk (such as oat, soy or almond milk)
-
60 g chia seeds
Instructions:
-
Stir all ingredients thoroughly in a glass or bowl.
-
Stir again after five minutes to prevent lumps from forming.
-
Let the pudding sit in the fridge for at least three hours – ideally overnight – to thicken.
-
Before serving, add your favourite toppings, such as plant-based yoghurt, nuts, cacao nibs or fresh berries.
Tip for an extra creamy texture
Not a fan of the typical chia texture? Simply blend all the ingredients before refrigerating. This creates a smooth, mousse-like pudding without visible seeds.
