    This Gluten-Free Vegan Pineapple Protein Chia Seed Pudding is an easy and healthy recipe made with only 4 clean, real food ingredients. It's the perfect plant-based breakfast or snack that can be prepared in less than 5 minutes and ready to enjoy in about an hour!
    pineapple-protein-chia-pudding

    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.

        Hi there Judy! Thanks so much! If I remember correctly, I bought them from a mail order catalog a couple of years ago but I don't think they offer them any more. They have some similar ones here: affiliate link --> https://amzn.to/1GlBBcY and https://amzn.to/1SdNWFo <---- affiliate link. They aren't exactly the same, but very close. Thanks for the question and I hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂

      I would like to make this recipe but I'm not sure how to make almond milk. Can I use unsweetened almond milk that is store bought? Thanks for your great recipes and all the information you provide. I hope to purchase your Ecookbook soon. Do you also have as a regular cookbook?

        Hi there Kendra! Yes, you can definitely use your favorite non-dairy milk! I only list homemade almond milk because that's what I use and IMHO, would be the healthiest option since you have control over the quality of ingredients (100% raw, organic unpasteurized almonds and filtered water).

        But store-bought is fine, just try to get organic if you can because non-organic almonds can have up to 9 different pesticides on them (visit the whatsonmyfood website).

        And, if you ever want to tackle making your own almond milk, here's step-by-step instructions and it's really easy: (https://thehealthyfamilyandhome.com/how-to-make-homemade-almond-milk/).

        I'm so glad you are enjoying the recipes and are interested in my eCookbook! Right now I just have it in the eCookbook (PDF) format.

        Thanks for your question and I hope enjoy the recipe 😉

          Thanks for answering me so quickly and for the recipe for Almond Milk. Do you know where I may purchase the Nut Milk Bag? By the way, please note that my first name does not have an "R" in it. It's a common mistake everyone makes as there are lots of Kendra's but not many of us Kenda's. Keep those great recipes coming!

          Thanks again!

            Hi there Kenda! You are very welcome and I apologize for misspelling your name 🙁 It happens to me all the time with the spelling of my name so I know how you feel!

            I love my nut milk bag and you can get one here: affiliate link---> https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Quality-Nut-Milk-Bag/dp/B00KLT6X9W/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=theheafamandh-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=VDRQ54GGFDBY75US&creativeASIN=B00KLT6X9W <---affiliate link They're not very expensive but are so handy in making nut milk. I just rinse mine off really good after using it and let it air dry before putting it away. It's lasted me a long time. Thanks for your question and for letting me know that you are enjoying my recipes...I really appreciate it 🙂
