Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 50 grams Unflavored protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 60 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh strawberries in cold water, then hull and halve them.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, water, and lemon juice. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the strawberries start to break down, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Mash the strawberries gently with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.
Step 4
Stir in the honey or maple syrup, adjusting the sweetness to taste.
Step 5
Gradually sprinkle in the unflavored protein powder while stirring continuously to ensure it dissolves without clumping.
Step 6
Add the chia seeds to the mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the filling to thicken as it simmers.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let the strawberry filling cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the filling to a clean jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until it has set.
Step 9
Use this high-protein strawberry filling as desired, and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
