Here's Why This Recipe Works

My top 3 favorite reasons:

1. Made with a clean plant-based protein
2. Can be prepared in under 5 minutes
3. Made with only 4 clean, real food ingredients

Made With a Clean Plant-Based Protein

It's made with Epic Organic Plant Protein, which provides 19 grams of balanced and complete, ultra-clean plant-based protein with a complete amino acid profile in just two scoops, or one serving.

It's not a typical protein powder you'd find in a grocery or health food store that's filled with crazy ingredients, fillers, GMO's and the like.

No, this is the cleanest raw, vegan, plant-based protein you will find and I love it because it also has whole superfoods to boost its nutritional profile.

Here's the ingredient list:

Epic Organic Plant Protein Ingredients: Yellow Pea, Sunflower Seed, Pumpkin Seed, Sacha Inchi, Cranberry Seed, Lucuma Fruit, Cinnamon, Ginger Root, Vanilla Bean, Coconut Crystals, Heirloom Red Banana, Jerusalem Artichoke, Baobab Fruit, Himalayan Pink Salt, Stevia Leaf

That's it!

Can Be Prepared In Under 5 Minutes

This is the perfect recipe for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack because it can be prepared in under 5 minutes.

Simply add all the ingredients to a glass mason jar, seal it tight, then shake it vigorously until everything is well combined.

The hardest part is waiting for it to firm in the refrigerator which takes about an hour.

Made With Only 4 Clean, Real Food Ingredients

My Pineapple Protein Chia Seed Pudding made with only 4 clean, real food ingredients that you may already have on hand.

For example, it includes ingredients such as almond milk, chia seeds, pineapples, and organic plant-based protein powder.

And it's organic, plant-based, raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, no-cook, paleo-friendly, contains no refined sugar, and can be Medical Medium compliant*.

How To Make This Recipe: Step-By-Step Instructions

Here is how to make this recipe and I'll show you how easy it is with step-by-step instructions below.

Step 1: Mix All Ingredients Together

Firstly, add all ingredients to a 16-ounce glass mason jar.

Seal the jar tightly then shake it vigorously until all ingredients are well combined.

Another option is to whisk the ingredients together before sealing the lid.

Step 2: Allow The Chia Pudding To Firm

Secondly, place the mason jar in the refrigerator for at least (1) hour to allow the chia pudding to firm.

You can also leave it in the refrigerator for longer or even overnight if you prefer a thicker consistency.

Step 3: Prepare To Serve

Lastly, remove the mason jar from the refrigerator and re-stir the chia pudding before serving.

Store any leftovers in an air-tight BPA-free container, such as a glass mason jar, in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Karielyn's Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions

Here are some of my expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:

Homemade Almond Milk. Making homemade almond milk is my milk of preference, however, you can always use your favorite non-dairy milk. Another great option is to use Joi Almond Milk made with 100% organic almonds.

Protein Powder. My favorite raw + vegan plant-based protein powder is Epic Organic Plant Protein - Vanilla Lucuma, but feel free to use your favorite plant-based brand.

Here are some protein powder tips:

• Amount To Use: Since the amount of protein I used is measured by the tablespoon, you can substitute with another protein powder in the same amount.
• Sweetness: Again, since the sweetness varies between different brands, if you use another brand other than Epic Organic Plant Protein - Vanilla Lucuma, you may need to add additional sweetener. If you find the smoothie is not sweet enough for your preference, just add 1 tablespoon of organic maple syrup.
• Quality: Protein powders vary in quality so it's important to use a high-quality protein. The brand I prefer, Epic Organic Plant Protein, is organic, raw, vegan and gluten-free and 100% plant-based. The ingredient list for the "Lucuma Vanilla" variety is Yellow Pea, Sunflower Seed, Pumpkin Seed, Sacha Inchi, Cranberry Seed, Lucuma Fruit, Cinnamon, Ginger Root, Vanilla Bean, Coconut Crystals, Heirloom Red Banana, Jerusalem Artichoke, Baobab Fruit, Himalayan Pink Salt, Stevia Leaf.

*Medical Medium. Although Epic Organic Plant Protein isn't an official approved Medical Medium food, you may or may not feel comfortable including it in your diet depending on where you are in your healing journey. You can omit the protein powder if you'd like to keep this recipe 100% Medical Medium compliant.
