A Healthy and Nourishing Breakfast
Chia Seed Yogurt Bowl is one of my favorite make-ahead breakfast dishes. It’s creamy, satisfying, and nutrient-packed and it delivers the right balance of protein, healthy fats, and fiber to keep you full and fueled throughout the morning.
Packed With Protein, Fiber, and Healthy Fats
Chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and hemp hearts bring plant-based protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber to the bowl, while Greek yogurt adds even more protein to keep you satiated for longer. The kefir not only makes the texture extra creamy, but it also provides fermented foods that support gut health – a great way to start the day. I try to get at least a serving or two of fermented foods each and every day.
Easy to Prep Ahead
This recipe requires just a few minutes of prep time, then the fridge does the rest. Mix it up the night before, and by morning you’ll have a creamy, pudding-like base ready to enjoy.
Breakfast or Snack
A full recipe makes one hearty breakfast serving, but you can also scoop out half for a nutrient-rich snack later in the day. Top it with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey for natural sweetness, and you’ll have a bowl that’s something you can feel good about.
Warmly,
