Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 small apple (about 100 grams), diced
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons chopped raw nuts (almonds or walnuts)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen berries (blueberries or raspberries)
- Flaxseed meal (optional)
Instructions
- Measure out 3/4 cup (180 ml) of plain Greek yogurt into a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of chia seeds and stir well to distribute evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Dice a small apple (about 100 grams) into bite-sized pieces and toss with 1/2 teaspoon (1 gram) cinnamon.
- Mix the diced apple into the yogurt and chia blend.
- Add 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of chopped raw nuts and stir.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract and a pinch more cinnamon.
- If mixture is too thick, thin with 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) of unsweetened almond milk and stir gently.
- Top with 1/4 cup (40 grams) of fresh or frozen berries.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow chia seeds to swell.
Notes
Let chia seeds soak for at least 5 minutes for better texture. Use raw, unsalted nuts to keep sodium low. Can be prepared the night before for convenience. Substitute nuts with seeds for nut allergies. Avoid added sugars; vanilla and cinnamon provide natural sweetness.
