Description
This yogurt chia pudding is a creamy, protein-rich breakfast that sets overnight for a thick and satisfying texture. It is easy to customize with fruits, nuts, or seeds for a nourishing start to the day.
Ingredients
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fruit such as strawberries, blackberries, or bananas
1/2 cup nuts or seeds
Instructions
- Whisk together the yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the chia seeds and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Stir again to break up any clumps and evenly distribute the seeds.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
- Spoon into bowls or jars and top with fruit and nuts or seeds before serving chilled.
Notes
Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, higher-protein version.
Swap maple syrup with honey for a different sweetness.
Add cocoa powder for a chocolate variation.
Try coconut milk and tropical fruits for a tropical twist.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Stir before serving if the pudding settles over time.
