Chia Seed Protein Jar
Chia seeds are one of nature's most extraordinary superfoods — packed with omega-3 fatty acids that reduce inflammation, soluble fiber that feeds your gut microbiome, calcium for strong bones, and slow-burning energy that keeps you satisfied for hours. Layered with a cloud-like protein mousse, fresh banana, and whatever beautiful toppings call to you, this jar is the kind of breakfast that feels indulgent and fuels you like a champion. Prep two or three at the start of the week and effortless, nourishing mornings are yours — no excuses, no skipping, just goodness.
Ingredients
6oz milk or nut milk (or 1:1 milk and water to reduce calories)
25-30g chia seeds
20g protein powder (shop our clean protein powders we recommend)
optional - 10g peanut butter powder
½ banana, sliced (or fruit of your choice)
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: cycle seeds, goji berries, bee pollen, honey or maple syrup
Directions
In a jar, combine the chia seeds with your milk. Stir well until all the chia seeds are evenly distributed with no clumps. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl, combine the protein powder and peanut butter powder with a small splash of water. Mix until you achieve a fluffy, mousse-like consistency — don't rush this step, it's worth the extra stir.
Slice your banana (or any other fruit you love) and layer it on top of the chia seed base.
Spoon the protein mousse on top of the fruit.
Add your favourite toppings. If you'd like a touch more sweetness, drizzle with honey or maple syrup to taste.
Cover and leave in the fridge overnight, or for a minimum of 4 hours, until the chia seeds have fully bloomed.
A Clean Kitchen Must-Have
"I'll prepare 2 or more of these at a time at the start of the week — they're perfect for when you're on the go and want a delicious, high-protein meal that feels like a treat (just don't forget a spoon!). Play around with different flavour combinations: blue spirulina, mixed berries, mango, crunchy nuts, coconut yogurt — you really can't go wrong." - Lauren, Founder of Cloud Nine Health
