Ingredients

You’ll only need six ingredients to make this strawberry cheesecake chia pudding.

Low fat cottage cheese: I like cottage cheese in this recipe because it gives a subtle cheesecake-like flavor. And don’t worry about the texture, because it’s blended! Feel free to swap vanilla greek yogurt if cottage cheese isn’t your thing.

Fresh or frozen strawberries: The berries are blended right into the smooth chia pudding. You can swap any berry or fruit you like for this recipe, including raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or mango.

Milk: I use 2% cow’s milk, but you can use what you prefer. Feel free to swap for soy milk (this has the most protein), oat milk, almond milk, or cashew milk.

Chia seeds: For a big boost of fiber! These will get blended and smooth.

Vanilla protein powder: Feel free to sub any flavor you like! I don’t recommend using unflavored protein powder for this recipe, because it adds sweetness.

Honey or maple syrup: You can choose your sweetener for this strawberry cheesecake chia pudding. I like maple syrup best, but honey, Stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or powdered sugar work too.

Toppings ideas

I recommend topping your high protein breakfast pudding with fresh, chopped strawberries.

You can also add vanilla greek yogurt, graham cracker crumbs, other berries, granola, shredded coconut, nut butter (peanut butter or almond butter), crushed nuts, or high fiber cereal.

How to make strawberry cheesecake pudding

Add all ingredients to a blender cup and blend until smooth, about 30-40 seconds. Scrape down the sides or pulse your blender as needed.

If you’re using an immersion blender, add the ingredients to a tall container and blend until smooth.

Taste, and adjust sweetener as needed. Transfer to a glass jar with a fitted lid. Refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.

When you’re ready to eat, top with fresh strawberries and other toppings as desired. Enjoy!

Top tips

Make sure you’re using a small blender cup or immersion blender. There’s not enough volume to blend everything properly in a large blender.

If you only have access to a large blender, I recommend you double or triple the recipe.
