Chia seed pudding can be made with plain Greek yogurt instead of almond milk to create a creamy and protein-rich version of this popular dish. Here’s how you can make chia seed pudding using Greek yogurt:

Greek Yogurt Chia Seed Pudding:

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh fruits, berries, or nuts for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
4. During the first hour of refrigeration, you might want to give the mixture a gentle stir to prevent clumping of the chia seeds.
5. Once the chia seeds have fully absorbed the liquid and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency, give it a final stir.
6. Serve the Greek yogurt chia seed pudding in bowls or jars. Top with your favorite fresh fruits, berries, nuts, or a drizzle of additional honey or maple syrup if desired.
7. Enjoy your delicious and protein-packed Greek yogurt chia seed pudding!
