High Protein Cottage Cheese and Blueberry Chia Pudding

I love a good chia pudding - it’s loaded with healthy fats and fiber, which is extremely helpful for hormone health. However, it’s often lacking in protein (even if you top it with nuts and seeds), so adding a protein source is a must if you’re using it for a full meal. This recipe uses cottage cheese to add some high-quality protein, as well as cow’s milk, which has much more protein than plant-based milks. You always add in some high quality protein powder as well if you really want to bump it up.
