INGREDIENTS
– 3 Tbsp. chia seeds
– 160g high-protein yogurt (I used Kalo unsweetened natural Greek yogurt)
– 1 espresso shot
– 1 tsp. cacao powder (I used @selenohealth – use ‘SHEREE10’ for 10% off)
– ½ serve vanilla protein powder (I used @mitchells.nz – use ‘SHEREE’ for 15% off)
METHOD
- In a bowl or jar, mix the chia seeds with the espresso shot, stirring well to prevent clumps.
- Add the yoghurt, vanilla protein powder, and mix until smooth.
- Let it sit for at least 10 minutes (or overnight for best results) to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Once set, sprinkle cacao powder on top for that true tiramisu vibe. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy as a protein-rich breakfast or healthy dessert.
- Make it in advance for an easy, grab-and-go option during busy mornings.
