Chia Seed Pudding with Yogurt
This Chia Seed Pudding with Yogurt is fruity, fresh, and packs a healthy punch! Chia seeds are full of protein, Omega 3's, and fiber with every bite. They will soften and grow chewier after sitting in the pudding for awhile, giving the pudding a nicely thickened texture.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk, vanilla flavored, sweetened
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, strawberry, or your favorite flavor
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- pinch kosher salt
- ¼ cup dry chia seeds
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, chopped
- ¼ cup roasted almonds, slivered
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the almond milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and pinch of kosher salt. Whisk gently until incorporated.
- Whisk in the chia seeds, and let stand for 30 min. Gently stir to redistribute the seeds. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to serve, gently fold in half of the strawberries into the pudding. Use the rest of the strawberries and almonds for garnish.
Notes
- Make this recipe nut-free by omitting the almonds.
- For a thicker pudding, use less almond milk and more yogurt.
- You can use any flavor of Greek yogurt or fruits.
- Feel free to substitute the almonds with other nuts or even granola for a different texture.
- This pudding can be made the night before and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, you can add a bit of honey or maple syrup.
- Chia seed pudding is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. It's also a wonderful dessert option for a healthy and refreshing treat.
