Ingredients

Base

  • 2¼ cups Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 splash vanilla extract

Toppings (Optional)

  • Peanut butter
  • Fresh fruit
  • Nuts
  • Seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, add Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully combined for an even texture and flavor.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let the mixture set in the fridge for at least three hours or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb moisture and thicken the mixture into a pudding-like consistency.
  3. Serve and Customize: Before serving, give the chia yogurt a good stir to ensure it’s well mixed. Add your favorite toppings such as peanut butter, fresh fruits, nuts, and seeds to enhance the flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your taste.
  • Chia seeds can be ground for a smoother texture if preferred.
  • This recipe can be prepared the night before for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
