Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain unsweetened yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- 0.5 cup Nuts (such as almonds or walnuts), chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon or less Stevia (optional, to taste)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the plain unsweetened yogurt and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly. This will give a nice subtle flavor to the yogurt without adding any sugar.
Taste the yogurt mixture. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a small amount of stevia, mixing until it is completely dissolved. Remember, a little goes a long way.
Let the yogurt mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to swell and thicken the yogurt slightly.
While waiting, wash and prepare the fresh berries. If using strawberries, hull and slice them.
Once the chia seeds have thickened the yogurt, divide the mixture evenly among four serving bowls or glasses.
Top each bowl with a generous serving of fresh berries and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
Dust lightly with cinnamon for an extra flavor dimension.
Garnish each serving with a fresh mint leaf. Serve immediately, and enjoy your nutritious, sugar-free creamy yogurt with added texture and health benefits from the chia seeds.
