Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 naval orange (juice)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Zest
Use a microplane to carefully zest the peel of the naval orange, avoiding the white pith underneath as it can impart a bitter taste. - Juice
Slice the orange and squeeze out the juice, ensuring to remove any seeds. - Stir
In a small container, combine the orange juice, orange zest, plain Greek yogurt, and vanilla protein powder. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth. Then add the chia seeds and whisk again to evenly distribute them. - Set
Seal the container and refrigerate it for at least four hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency. - Serve
Once set, top your chia pudding with orange segments, a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt, whipped cream, or any other preferred toppings, then enjoy your creamy and tangy treat.
Notes
- Be sure not to include the orange pith in the zest to avoid bitterness.
- Refrigerate the pudding for at least four hours or overnight for best texture.
- You can customize toppings according to your preference, such as fresh fruit or nuts.
- This recipe makes one serving; adjust quantities as needed for more servings.
