Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Full-fat Greek yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or preferred sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
Instructions
Start by placing the 500 grams of full-fat Greek yoghurt in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of freshly grated lemon zest to the yoghurt. Ensure the zest is finely grated to evenly distribute the flavor.
Squeeze fresh lemon to get 2 tablespoons of juice and add it to the mix. Stir gently to combine the yoghurt, zest, and juice.
Measure 2 tablespoons of erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener and sprinkle it into the yoghurt mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the sweetener dissolves completely.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the mixture and stir well, allowing the vanilla to blend smoothly with the lemon flavor.
Incorporate 1 tablespoon of chia seeds into the yoghurt. Mix thoroughly until the seeds are evenly distributed.
Once all the ingredients are well combined, taste the yoghurt. Adjust the sweetener or lemon juice if needed, depending on personal preference.
Transfer the lemon yoghurt into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the chia seeds to thicken the mixture slightly.
Serve chilled as a refreshing snack or breakfast, optionally garnished with lemon wedges or additional zest.
