Coffee Chia Protein Pudding

While I am training for the 2025 Comrades Ultra Marathon, I am working hard to up my protein intake for my muscles to recover quickly. This Coffee Chia Protein Pudding is delicious, super quick to make and packed with various sources of plant-protein. I enjoy it as a post-run breakfast, an afternoon sweet snack or I keep it in the fridge and take a biteful throughout the day.

Made with Smul Café Latte protein powder and their Cacao Almond protein bar, this dreamy combo delivers 33g of protein—not even counting the protein from the chia seeds and peanut butter! Plus, the cultured coconut yogurt adds probiotics to keep your tummy happy.

What I love about Smul’s protein powder is that it isn’t overly sweet—it actually has 0% sugar. The best part? You can make it the night before and grab it on the go the next morning after training!
