Day 10 of the 12 days of chia pudding is pecan pie. This recipe is so decadent you won’t miss the traditional pecan pie. The chocolatey richness of the chia pudding will not only satisfy your sweet craving, it’s also packed with protein as chia seeds contain almost 5 grams of protein in ¼ of a cup. Combine that with greek yogurt, whey protein powder, and collagen peptides and you’re looking at a high protein dessert.
One tip is to make a big batch of the shortbread cookies and have them on hand for your chia seed pudding recipes. I use them for the cranberry shortbread chia pudding and the dark chocolate cherry tart chia pudding (separating half the dough and adding cocoa powder). Also, the shortbread cookies make an amazing snack dipped into the date caramel.
