High Protein Blueberry Oat Chia Pudding (Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar Free)

Taste & Texture

This is thick, creamy, and perfectly spoonable straight from the fridge with a texture similar to blueberry cheesecake meets overnight oats. The blended base makes it ultra smooth, while the chia seeds create that classic pudding consistency. It is naturally sweet, slightly tangy from the cottage cheese, and packed with fresh blueberry flavor.

How to Make It Vegan / Dairy-Free

• Replace cottage cheese with a thick dairy-free yogurt (coconut or almond-based works best)
• Use a plant-based vanilla protein powder
• Swap honey for maple syrup
• Use your favorite dairy-free milk

Note: This may slightly lower the protein content depending on the substitutions used.

Substitutions & Tips

• Use fresh blueberries instead of frozen if preferred
• Swap honey for maple syrup or date syrup
• Use quick oats for a smoother texture or rolled oats for more texture
• Add lemon zest to enhance the blueberry flavor
• Stir in a little extra milk before serving if it becomes too thick

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. The pudding will continue to thicken as it sits, so stir in a splash of milk before serving if needed.
