Ingredients

Dairy & Liquid

  • 2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 3 cups 1% milk

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 9 pitted Medjool dates (120 g)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Thickening Agent

  • 1 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor or large blender, add the Greek yogurt, milk (add 2 cups if your blender has an 8-cup max fill), pitted Medjool dates, vanilla flavoring, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth with a few small chunks of dates remaining, which adds texture.
  2. Combine and Add Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a large mixing bowl. If you initially only added 2 cups of milk, add the remaining 1 cup now and stir well to combine. Then, add the chia seeds and stir thoroughly to avoid clumping.
  3. Rest and Stir: Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to start absorbing liquid and thickening the pudding. After resting, stir again to redistribute the chia seeds evenly.
  4. Refrigerate: Divide the chia pudding evenly into 4 mason jars or containers with lids. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let it fully thicken and develop flavor.
  5. Serve: Before serving, top with fresh fruit or additional chopped dates if desired for extra sweetness and texture.

Notes

  • Enjoy this chia pudding as a high fiber, high protein breakfast or a filling snack.
  • Add extra chopped dates or fresh fruits like sliced strawberries for variety and added nutrients.
  • To prepare only 2 servings, halve all ingredient quantities and divide into 2 jars.
  • If the pudding contains many air bubbles due to over mixing, let it sit for an additional 10-15 minutes and stir gently before dividing into serving jars.
  • Refrigerate the prepared mixture and stir gently later if needed to reduce airiness.
