Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ cup (75 g) fresh berries (strawberries or blueberries)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Optional: small handful of chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
- Measure out 1 cup (240 ml) of plain Greek yogurt and place it in your mixing bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to the yogurt and stir thoroughly to evenly distribute.
- Gently fold in ½ cup (75 g) of fresh berries, slicing strawberries if large.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of cinnamon over the top and give one last gentle stir.
- Optional: Add a small handful of chopped nuts for crunch and healthy fats.
- Enjoy immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow chia seeds to soften and thicken the mixture.
Notes
Use plain Greek yogurt without added sugar to keep carb count low. Let chia seeds soak for 5 minutes or longer for a creamier texture. Add a splash of unsweetened almond milk if mixture is too thick. Fresh berries preferred but frozen can be used if thawed. Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar. Optional nuts add healthy fats but keep portions modest. Can be prepared the night before for convenience.
