Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk (such as Fairlife, almond milk, or your choice)
  • 1/3 cup berries of choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, milk, berries, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to a blender.
  2. Blend mixture: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring the cottage cheese is fully incorporated for a silky texture.
  3. Add chia seeds: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds thoroughly until well combined.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the pudding.
  5. Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding well to redistribute the chia seeds. Top with extra berries, yogurt, or graham cracker crumbs as desired.
