Let’s dig in!
Total time: 5 Minutes (+4 Hours to refrigerate) | Prep Time: 5 Minutes | Fridge Time: 4-12 Hours
Servings: 1
Ingredients
1 Cup Kefir, 1%
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Thorne)
⅛ cup Chia seeds
1 tbsp Apricot jam
1 tbsp almond butter
2 Dashes cinnamon
1 Dash nutmeg
1 Dash Ginger powder
1 Dash Turmeric powder
1 Pinch Celtic Sea salt
Instructions:
Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients in the order listed into a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
Shake: Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 30–45 seconds until all ingredients are well combined and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Refrigerate: Place the jar in the refrigerator and allow it to sit for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight, so the chia seeds can absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like texture.
Stir & Adjust: In the morning, give the chia pudding a quick stir. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash of kefir or milk and mix until desired texture is reached.
Serve: Enjoy chilled straight from the jar. Add optional toppings like fresh chopped apricot, extra almond butter, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added flavor and crunch.

Tatum’s Recipe Hacks:
✨💡For the creamiest texture, allow your chia pudding to fully rest overnight. The longer the chia seeds absorb the liquid, the thicker and smoother the consistency becomes. If you prefer a thinner texture, simply mix in a little extra kefir before enjoying.
🌱 Chia seeds may be tiny, but they are packed with nutrition! The word “chia” comes from the ancient Mayan word for “strength,” and these small seeds were valued for their ability to provide sustained energy. Today, chia seeds are a powerhouse for high fiber content, omega-3 fatty acids, and ability to support digestive health.
