Healthy Carrot Cake Overnight Chia Pudding (High Protein)

    I have to tell you… there’s this little bakery in New York that makes the most incredible gluten-free carrot cake. It’s the kind you think about long after you’ve had it. And every time I have a slice, I wish I could recreate those same cozy flavors in something I can enjoy more often… like a healthy carrot cake breakfast or an easy meal prep snack.

    So I started playing in the kitchen and this is what came out of it. This carrot cake chia pudding has everything you love about the classic dessert warm cinnamon, nutmeg, a little sweetness, that soft, satisfying texture but in a high-protein, gut-friendly recipe you can keep in your fridge all week. The chia seeds bring natural fiber, the shredded carrots give it that real carrot cake feel, and my Vanilla Bone Broth Protein Powder adds a clean boost of protein to help keep you full. And the creamy cottage cheese “frosting” on top? That’s what takes it over the edge.

    It’s simple, it’s cozy, and it’s the kind of healthy carrot cake recipe you’ll come back to again and again.

    Ingredients:

    1 C. Chia seeds
    2 Tbsp. shredded coconut
    1 C. carrot, shredded
    1 tsp. cinnamon
    ¼ tsp. nutmeg
    ¼ C. walnuts, chopped
    ½ C. raisins
    1 scoop Dr. Kellyann Vanilla Bone Broth Protein Powder
    4 C. cashew milk (or milk of choice)
    2 Tbsp. honey

    Cottage Cheese Protein Frosting:
    1 C. cottage cheese
    ½ scoop Dr. Kellyann Vanilla Bone Broth Protein Powder

    In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut, carrot, cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts, raisins, and Dr. Kellyann Vanilla Bone Broth Protein Powder, then mix until well combined.
    In each mason jar, add 1 cup of chia mixture. Pour 1 C milk into each jar and stir to combine. Place the lid on the mason jars and place them in the fridge overnight.


    Before serving, prepare the frosting by blending cottage cheese and Dr. Kellyann Vanilla Bone Broth Protein Powder until smooth (about 1 minute).

    Remove mason jars from fridge and top with a scoop of cottage cheese frosting.


    Garnish with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of shredded coconut, and a pinch of cinnamon.
