Ingredients
Peanut Butter Banana Bread:
- 3 tbsp. chia seeds
- ½ scoop Impact Whey Protein (Peanut Butter Cup)
- 125ml milk
- ½ banana (mashed)
Toppings:
- ½ banana (sliced)
- 2 tbsp. chopped walnuts
Blueberry Cheesecake:
- 3 tbsp. chia seeds
- ½ scoop Impact Whey Protein (Vanilla)
- 125ml milk
- 1 tsp. cream cheese

Double Chocolate:
- 3 tbsp. chia seeds
- ½ scoop Impact Whey Protein (Decadent Milk Chocolate)
- 250ml milk
Toppings:
- 4 squares of dark chocolate

Method
- In a bowl, mix together all ingredients for the chia pudding base (excluding toppings) and chill for at least 2 hours. During this time your chia seeds will soak up the milk and protein, resulting in a jelly-like texture and consistency.
- Now in a glass or small Kilner jar, build your chia puddings. First, add your chia pudding base, followed by half of the toppings, then another layer of chia pudding and then the rest of the toppings. Enjoy!
