Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk for creaminess)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or unsweetened almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, nut butter, shredded coconut, cocoa nibs, granola

Method
 

  1. Whisk the base: In a medium bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  2. Add chia seeds: Sprinkle in the chia seeds and whisk thoroughly. Make sure no clumps remain.
  3. Let it thicken briefly: Set the bowl aside for 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any settling seeds.
  4. Portion and chill: Divide the mixture into 2–3 jars or containers. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
  5. Stir and top: In the morning, give it a quick stir. Add fruit, nuts, or a spoonful of nut butter. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Serve cold: Enjoy straight from the fridge or let it sit for 10 minutes to soften if using very thick yogurt.
