Author: Nico Pallotta

  • 3 tablespoons (30 g) chia seeds
  • ½ cup (75 g) blueberries fresh or frozen - up to 1 cup for more blueberry flavor
  • 1 cup (240 g) Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt
  • ½ cup (120 g) milk any
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) maple syrup or honey – you can drizzle more on top later for more sweetness
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or grated lemon zest

  • Blend the base: Add ½ cup blueberries, 1 cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to a bowl.
    Blend with an immersion blender until smooth. (Or blend in a regular blender, then pour into a bowl.)
    Step 1 Blended blueberry yogurt mixture smooth and purple in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the chia: Add 3 tablespoons chia seeds. Whisk for about 30 seconds to break up any clumps.
    Cover the bowl, or divide the mixture into small jars. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until thick and creamy.
    Step 2 Chia stirred in the mixed yogurt base and let chill in the fridge overnight.
  • Stir and serve: Stir before serving to make it extra creamy. Top with extra blueberries, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup if you like. Enjoy cold, or warm gently in the microwave for a few seconds.
