This creamy kefir chia pudding is packed with probiotics, protein, and fibre for a gut-healthy breakfast, snack, or school lunch. With less than 5 minutes of prep and up to 5 days of fridge life, it's the perfect make-ahead recipe for busy families.
Mix the liquid base. In a medium-sized bowl, add the kefir, maple syrup, vanilla extract, collagen powder and salt. Whisk together until all ingredients are combined.
Add the chia seeds. Whisk in the chia seeds, 1/4 cup at a time, making sure none stick to the sides or settle to the bottom.
Refrigerate until thick and creamy. Transfer the chia mixture to an airtight container and seal with the lid. Refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours, overnight. Stir again before serving.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Ash's Tips
Stir your chia pudding again after 10 minutes to prevent any seeds from clumping.
For grab-and-go convenience, portion it into small jars once the pudding has thickened.
