Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
¾ cup Greek yogurt
4 tablespoons honey
1 cup frozen or fresh berries (or fruit of choice)
½ cup chia seeds
Instructions
In a high-speed blender, combine almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and berries. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a large bowl and add the chia seeds. Whisk well to incorporate.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature, whisking every 5 minutes for 20–30 minutes to prevent the chia seeds from settling.
Once slightly thickened, cover or divide into individual containers.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
Stir before serving. Add your favorite toppings—granola, fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter work great!
Tips & Substitutions
Use any dairy or non-dairy milk and yogurt.
Swap honey with maple syrup or agave.
Try different fruits—mango, banana, or pineapple are great options.
Add 1–2 tablespoons of nut butter for an extra protein boost.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
