High-Protein Collagen Chia Pudding (5 Flavor Variations)
Share
Why Collagen Chia Pudding?
Chia pudding is one of the easiest meal-prep breakfasts you can make — and a natural vehicle for collagen peptides. Chia seeds are rich in omega-3s, fiber, and plant-based protein, while NUTRIBAS Hydrolyzed Multi Collagen Peptides adds 10g of multi-source collagen per scoop to support skin elasticity, joint comfort, gut lining integrity, and hair and nail strength.
The Base Formula
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 scoop (10g) NUTRIBAS Collagen Peptides Unflavored
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Method: Whisk collagen into milk until dissolved. Add chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla. Stir well, then stir again after 5 minutes to prevent clumping. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir before serving.
Prep time: 5 minutes | Chill time: 4–8 hours | Servings: 1

Meal Prep Tips
- Batch prep: Make 4–5 jars on Sunday. Keeps up to 5 days in the fridge.
- Stir twice: Once immediately, then again after 5 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Too thick? Add a splash of milk. Too thin? Add 1 tsp chia seeds and refrigerate another hour.
- Collagen tip: Always dissolve collagen in liquid first for the smoothest texture.
