TIPS
These tips can help you make a better Chia and Yoghurt Pot:
- Soften Chia: Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes if you prefer a pudding-like consistency.
- Use Fresh Berries: Blueberries, raspberries or chopped strawberries work best.
- Layer for Appeal: Layer yoghurt, chia and berries in a clear jar for visual presentation.
VARIATIONS
- Add Crunch: Top with crushed almonds, granola or sunflower seeds.
- Go Vegan: Use coconut or almond yoghurt in place of dairy.
- Extra Flavour: Stir in a dash of vanilla extract or cinnamon.
- More Fruit: Add banana slices, mango chunks or kiwi for tropical flair.
- Protein Boost: Mix in 1/2 scoop of unflavoured or vanilla protein powder.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerate: Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Make Ahead: Assemble in advance and store in jars for a grab-and-go option.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing will affect the texture and separate the yoghurt.
