This chocolate chia pudding is a favourite in Alex’s kitchen — easy to make the night before and perfect for busy mornings or post-transfer snacks. Inspired by many chocolate chia pudding recipes online, it’s full of fibre, protein, and hormone-friendly fats. 

The combination of healthy fats, fibre, and optional collagen makes it a nourishing choice for balancing blood sugar and supporting fertility. It’s creamy, chocolatey, and endlessly customisable with your favourite toppings.

  • 40g chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa or raw cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
  • 240ml unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop (about 10–15g) unflavoured collagen or protein powder (optional)

Swaps & Tips

Nut-free version 
Use sunflower seed butter or tahini instead of peanut butter.

Boost the protein     
Collagen or plant-based protein can help keep you fuller for longer.

Less natural sugar?
Skip the maple syrup and let the cocoa and toppings shine — especially if using a sweet topping like fruit.

Looking for more healthy fats?
Try tossing in some avocado. It’s creamy, satisfying, and rich in healthy fats.

Meal Prep tip
Lasts in the fridge for up to 3 days — perfect for prepping snacks or breakfast in advance.

Method

  1. Add all ingredients to a medium bowl or jug and whisk well until smooth and combined.
  2. Divide between two small jars, bowls, or containers.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until thickened.
  4. Stir before serving and add your favourite toppings — we love sliced banana and mixed nuts for healthy fats and crunch.
