Cheesecake Chia Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 serving vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
- 2 tbsp cashew butter
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- salt (dash)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
To serve
- 1 cup frozen cherries
Instructions
- Add all ingredients minus chia seeds and cherries to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add chia seeds to a medium sized bowl and pour mixture over chia seeds. Mix until well combined.
- Store mixture in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until firm. Stir the mixture after one hour to avoid chia seeds from settling at the bottom.
