Description

These Raspberry Chia Jam Protein Cups are a nutritious snack or post-workout treat packed with protein, antioxidants, and fiber. They offer a burst of fruity sweetness from homemade chia jam, combined with a protein-packed base, making them a satisfying on-the-go option.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh raspberries

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or a plant-based yogurt alternative

1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)

1/4 cup rolled oats

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Make the chia jam: In a small saucepan, heat the raspberries over medium heat, stirring occasionally until they break down and become soft. Once the raspberries are soft, add the chia seeds and maple syrup (or honey), and stir well. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens. Set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the protein cup base: In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, protein powder, rolled oats, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Assemble the cups: In silicone muffin tins or small cups, layer the protein mixture at the bottom. Add a layer of the cooled raspberry chia jam on top of the protein base. You can use a spoon or a piping bag to make it neat.
  4. Freeze the cups: Place the cups in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until they are firm and set.
  5. Serve: Once frozen, remove the protein cups from the molds and enjoy. You can store any extras in the freezer for later.

Notes

  1. Store the protein cups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks.
  2. Use frozen raspberries if fresh ones aren’t available; just thaw them slightly before cooking.
  3. For a vegan option, substitute with plant-based yogurt, protein powder, and sweeteners like maple syrup or agave.
  4. Feel free to experiment with different fruits and protein sources to create your own variations.
