This might be the easiest, most delicious way on the planet to get a quick 50g of protein in for breakfast, without needing to make a smoothie!
Not to mention, it’s super nutritious. Chia seeds provide a healthy fat source and are one of the most Omega-3 rich foods on the planet. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for brain health, reducing inflammation, supporting heart health, and even improving skin (so if you want that ‘glow’ this recipe is for you!)
Most people don’t get nearly enough Omega 3’s in their diet – pair those benefits with protein-rich Greek yogurt, high-quality grass-fed whey, and antioxidant-packed berries, and you’ve got yourself a breakfast that’s as functional as it is delicious. Protein and fat are the most satiating macronutrients, meaning they keep you full and energized for a long time. So with this breakfast, you’ll be sure to have a supercharged morning without feeling hungry again an hour later.
This is one of our most viral recipes – and for good reason. It only takes a few minutes to make, and tastes absolutely amazing. No fancy ingredients, or complicated cooking methods required… Just a quick stir, give it a few minutes of magic, and breakfast is served!

If you don’t have Promix or a Strawberry flavored protein, this recipe works with vanilla as well! With that said, it is definitely best with a strawberry flavored protein!
