To save time, this recipe is easy to make ahead and a quick way to enjoy protein on-the-go. As a vegetarian, I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate plant-based proteins.

This recipe uses flax milk, a quality plant-based protein.

With one cup giving us 8 grams (more than a regular egg), it doesn't come saddled with the saturated fat found in other animal-based proteins.

Bonus: it’s creamy and offers you a mini hydration boost in the AM!

So what else makes this meal #dietitianapproved?

  • Feel full with fiber
    Unlike juice or honey, gives this meal a fiber boost. Many of us don’t get enough of this essential nutrient, making fruit (fresh or frozen) an easy add.

  • Glow with antioxidants
    Walnuts are packed with Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps defend our body from harmful free radicals. Be sure to pick up the raw unsalted variety to help avoid added oil and salt.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup flax milk (or dairy-free milk of your choice)

  • 1/4 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen

  • 3 - 4 walnuts

  • 1 mint sprig (my favorite add 🍃)

Instructions

  1. Add milk to a single-serve container and mix in chia seeds.

  2. Let stand for five minutes or until the mixture becomes thick.

  3. Add toppings of your choice and enjoy!
