Chocolate Chia Protein Pudding

Chocolate Pudding for breakfast? Yes, please! Sugar free, and gluten free and full of incredibly good things for you? Even better! Here is the next in the lineup for chocolate flavored breakfast options. 🙂 When a super healthy breakfast for the week can be as easy as throwing everything in a blender, pouring in containers, and putting in the fridge, I tend to get a little excited and nerdy about it.

So, like I said, dump all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. I use my kitchen scale for measuring out into containers so that I know that I have the same in each one and I don’t have to bother with measuring cups.

The way that I do this, is to weigh the blender when it’s empty before, and then weigh it when it’s done blending. (I like to us grams, but you could use ounces as well) I subtract the weight of the blender from the total after and that gives the weight of just the pudding. Then I divide by 4 and that’s how much I pour into each container.

I put each container on the scale, and then zero it out so that the scale reads 0 with the container still on it. Then I just pour in the pudding until it gets to the weight that I figured should be in each one. You totally save yourself from trying to scoop it into a measuring cup and then scooping it out again!

In the end, I have 4 breakfasts ready to go in the fridge! This pudding needs to chill for at least a couple hours, but is good to stay in the fridge for up to 5-6 days. One other thing that I love to put on top, but is totally optional are these cocoa nibs. These ones are from Trader Joes, because they are by far the best price, but you can find them at other Whole Food type stores.
