Chia Pudding with Greek Yogurt – Early 2023

I was skeptical as I have never had Chia Seeds.  But OH was I surprised!!!  So GOOD!!

Chia Yogurt Base Mix

  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup boiled hot water
  • 3 tablespoons honey (maple, coconut sugar)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups greek yogurt (or vegan yogurt)
  • 1 1/2 cups nut milk ( almond, hemp, oat, soy, etc.)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a bowl or quart jar, mix chia seeds and hot water.  Let sit about 5 minutes. This starts hydrating the chia seed more quickly.
  2. Stir in vanillahoney (or maple) and pinch of salt.
  3. Add greek yogurt and nut milk.  Whisk to combine thoroughly. (At this point you could divide into 4 smaller jars.)
  4. At this stage it will keep in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
  5. Add preferred flavor and fruits to serve. Refrigerate at least an hour before serving.

NOTES

If pre-making with fruit added: refrigerate and serve within 2-3 days.
