Ingredients
  

Yogurt (1 cup):

  • Use Greek yogurt for a thick, creamy texture. You can go with plain or flavored yogurt, or choose a dairy-free option like almond or coconut yogurt if you prefer.

Chia Seeds (1–2 tablespoons):

  • Both black and white chia seeds are fine. Add more seeds if you want your yogurt to be thicker.

Sweetener (optional):

  • If you like it sweet, try a little honey, maple syrup, or agave. Skip this if you're using already-sweetened yogurt.

Flavor Boosters (optional):

  • A splash of vanilla (about ½ tsp) adds a nice aroma.
  • Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder for a chocolate twist.
  • Or sprinkle ¼ tsp cinnamon for a cozy flavor.

Toppings (optional):

  • Top with berries, chopped fruits, granola, or a spoon of nut butter for extra taste and texture.

Instructions
 

1. Pick a Bowl or Jar

  • Use a small bowl or mason jar that fits at least 1 cup of yogurt and leaves room to stir everything.

2. Add Yogurt and Chia Seeds

  • Scoop 1 cup of yogurt into your bowl. Mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons of chia seeds—more seeds will make it thicker.

3. Sweeten and Flavor (Optional)

  • If you like it sweet, add 1–2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup. You can also mix in a little vanilla, cinnamon, or even cocoa powder. A tiny pinch of salt can also help balance the flavor.

4. Mix Well

  • Stir everything together with a spoon or whisk, making sure the chia seeds don’t clump up.

5. Let It Rest

  • Quick Version: Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, stir again halfway through. It’ll thicken a little.
  • Pudding Style: Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. The texture gets much thicker as the seeds soak up the yogurt.

6. Adjust If Needed

  • If it feels too thick, add a splash of milk or yogurt. Too thin? Stir in a bit more chia and let it sit longer.

7. Add Toppings & Serve

  • Top with fruit, nuts, or granola. Add more honey if you like. Enjoy it cold!

Storage Tip:

  • You can store extra servings in the fridge for 3–4 days, covered.
