Greek Yogurt Chia Pudding
Description
This chia pudding recipe starts by mixing Greek yogurt (vanilla or coconut flavored), almond or alternative milk, maple syrup for sweetness, and chia seeds that absorb liquid and gel to form a thick pudding consistency. After refrigeration for at least two to four hours—during which occasional stirring can prevent clumps—the pudding becomes creamy with a slight gel-like texture from the seeds.
The berry topping is made by mashing fresh or thawed raspberries with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup until pureed, adding a balanced tartness and natural sweetness that contrasts the pudding's creamy base.
Divided into individual servings, this pudding makes a convenient and nutritious snack or breakfast option that can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. The combination of yogurt and chia seeds provides protein and fiber, while the fruit adds vitamins and vibrant flavor.
Optionally, the pudding can be prepared with other plant-based milks or sweeteners according to preference.
