Keto Protein Chia Pudding

Keto Protein Chia Pudding

This is a really simple chia pudding recipe to get a little extra protein in the morning. It really does keep me full until lunch. I usually eat a handful of nuts after eating this with a couple glasses of water. It's been my current go-to for breakfast lately, since I crave sweet stuff in the morning and there isn't too many easy sweet breakfast dishes out there that I've found. It is a little higher with carbs though, but it's doable when you're watching your other meal macros.

1/2 Cup full fat Cottage Cheese

1. Literally just add everything into a bowl or tupperware.

Additional thoughts: 

The calories and macros are for 1 tbsp. chia seeds. I usually throw in a handful of frozen raspberries and put it in the fridge overnight to thaw and do its stuff. I actually use a splash of no-sugar vanilla coffee syrup to sweeten mine, but that's because I would use honey or maple syrup before I tried low-carb. Nuts or cocoa powder or unsweetened coconut flakes would be good other options, or other berries of choice.
