Notes
- Macros may vary quite a bit depending on the yogurt used. My yogurt has 9.5g protein, 5.5g fat, and 0g net carbs per cup (240g). If you're using a higher fat yogurt, like coconut, you could replace some or all of the coconut milk with a plant-based milk. And if your yogurt is also not very high in protein, using soy or pea milk could balance this out.
- Excessive chia consumption can cause digestive distress. If unsure of your tolerance, I'd suggest a 2-serving limit of this pudding. In addition, this pudding is quite high in calories for a small portion of food. If enjoying it as part of a full meal, I'd suggest pairing it with some bulkier food items so you're not left feeling hungry.
