The best banana chia pudding you will ever make. All it takes is a few ingredients and about 5 minutes! The perfect high protein pudding for breakfast, post workout snack or like well whenever you want something sweet and yummy!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 ripe banana, mashed but left a little chunky
• 2 1/2 cups of unsweetened soy milk. If you have a sensitivity to soy, substitute with almond, cashew or hemp milk.
• 1/2 cup of whole chia seeds
• 1 tsp of cinnamon
• 2 tbsp of hemp seeds
• 1/2 tsp maple syrup
• 4-5 tbsp of high protein plain yogurt ( I love Siggi’s)

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, add the mashed up banana. To it, add in the chia seeds, the milk, maple syrup and the cinnamon. Stir well to combine. Make sure that you stir in the mashed banana well. It will tend to clump to the chia seeds.

Transfer to 4 serving mason jars. Add to each 1-2 tablespoons yogurt and top with hemp seeds. Chill before serving. Lasts 4 days in the fridge. Makes 4 small servings.

The healthiest oatmeal ever and so easy to make. Start your day and fuel your belly with this oatmeal. Packed with fiber, protein and collagen, this oatmeal is anything but boring. This will keep your blood sugar on the lower side, reduce cholesterol and fill you up for hours. Even your kids will love this recipe.

The addition of the apples, dates, chia and flax offer that high fiber value. While the soy milk and hemp seeds pack some serious punch in the protein department. Sprinkling in the collagen powder supports your skin, hair, joints and nails.

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 1/2 cups of unsweetened soy, almond or cashew milk (go
• soy for the highest protein)
• 1 apple, sliced. Leave the peel on
• 3 dates
• 20 g of collagen powder
• 2 1/2 cups of water
• 1/3 cup steel cut oats
• 1 tsp each ground cinnamon and cardamom
• 1 tbsp whole chia seeds and flax seeds
• 1/3 cup hemp seeds (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Combine the oats, 1 1/2 cups water and 2 1/2 cups milk in a large saucepan. Stir, bring to a boil and then put on simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring often. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

Then add in the apples, dates, spices and the remaining 1 cup water and 1 cup milk. Stir well. Cover and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Stir often until the apples are soft.

Grind your chia seeds and flax seeds. Stir in the collagen powder. Add to the saucepan. Stir well. Cook for another minutes. Then add in the hemp seeds if using.

Place in bowl and top with more hemp seeds and optionally top with high protein yogurt.

What babe doesn’t love an extra hit of collagen, right? This super easy snack is filled with collagen powder PLUS chia seeds which help to increase collagen production. With dark cherries added in, you are increasing collagen production with that hit of Vitamin C. Grab a spoon and dive in!!! Perfect post workout snack too.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/2 cups dairy free milk – I used coconut milk for a creamier texture, but you can also use almond, soy or cashew milk
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 1-2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• handful of fresh dark cherries, chopped finely
• 1 scoop of collagen powder
• 1 scoop of Chocolate Protein Powder
• few tbsp of nut butter of choice
• sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings

DIRECTIONS:

• To a mixing bowl add dairy free milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (to taste), and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours). The chia pudding should be thick and creamy. If not, add more chia seeds, stir, and refrigerate for another hour or so.
• When ready, layer bottom of jars with cherries, chia seed mix and top with some nut butter. Will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days. I used a mix of mason jars and little individual ones.
