The magical ingredient in this recipe is PB2 Peanut Butter Powder. What is this you ask? Glad you did!

I fell in love when I discovered cashew powder because it helped me to create Butternut Squash Pasta and Creamy Vegan Potato Soup.

Peanut butter powder similar to its cashew cousin, it's made by pressing out the majority of the oil which greatly reduces the calorie and fat content. This healthy powder has 90% less fat and 70% fewer calories than classic peanut butter, while still giving you tons of plant-based protein!

Working with a fine powder instead of peanut butter makes it so much easier to incorporate in a wide variety of recipes! Mix it into your smoothies, create snacks, desserts, and baked goods, or simply mix with water to create a peanut butter spread.

Easily adding peanut butter flavor to so many recipes is amazing, but it gets even better! PB2 peanut Butter Powder is gluten-free, vegan, kosher, and free of preservatives.

Tips and Tricks

For the best peanut butter chia seed pudding make sure to check out these helpful hints:

The creamier the milk the more rich and creamy the end result will be. Cashew milk is good for this.
Yogurt can be left out but it really helps making it creamy.
Powdered peanut butter keeps the fat and calorie content lower. You can substitute it for 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.
To avoid clumping whisk everything as quickly as possible. You can also mix everything but the chia seeds and then add them in last.
If you're not a fan of the texture of chia seeds, blend everything in a high speed blender.
You can leave it out, but for a sweeter flavor mix in your favorite sweetener such as maple syrup.
This pudding can be made completely up to 24 hours in advance. You can also mix up everything but the chia seeds and flavor additions and store for up to 3 days. Just stir in the seeds at least 30 minutes before serving.
