High Protein Peanut Butter Espresso Chia Pudding

Huge chia pudding fan here! Chia seeds have so many wonderful benefits. They’re rich in omega-3’s, high in fiber and have a ton of antioxidants. They make for a great superfood breakfast that you can make and enjoy within 20-30 mins or meal prep.

This creamy peanut butter mocha chia pudding is one of my favorite make-ahead breakfasts for busy weeks. It combines rich chocolate flavor, espresso (or coffee), peanut butter, cacao powder, and chia seeds into a satisfying high-protein breakfast that feels a little indulgent while still supporting balanced energy.

Made with coconut milk, collagen powder, and naturally sweetened with stevia, this recipe is perfect for meal prep and easy to customize with your favorite toppings.

Whether you enjoy it as a quick breakfast, afternoon snack, or healthier dessert, this mocha chia pudding is simple, nourishing, and packed with flavor.
