Chia Pudding
- 1 1/2 cups 2% milk
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey
Smoothie Mix
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons honey
Toppings
- Chopped fresh strawberries
- Chocolate chips
- Extra chia seeds
- Prepare Chia Pudding: In a bowl, combine the 2% milk, 2 tablespoons honey, and chia seeds. Blend using an immersion blender for one minute to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the mixture to thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
- Prepare Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie: In a separate bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup strawberries, and 2 tablespoons honey. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight alongside the chia pudding.
- Assemble the Smoothie Bowls: The following morning, take the chia pudding and smoothie mixture out of the fridge. Pour about 1/2 cup of the chia pudding mixture onto one side of the bowl. Use a silicone spatula to hold the chia pudding on one side while pouring 1/2 cup of the strawberry yogurt smoothie on the other side. Remove the spatula so both mixtures meet in the middle of the bowl.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the assembled smoothie bowl with chopped fresh strawberries, chocolate chips, and additional chia seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately for a refreshing and healthy meal.
Notes
- Make sure to soak the chia seeds overnight to achieve the proper thick pudding texture.
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries based on availability.
- Adjust the amount of honey for sweetness preference.
- This smoothie bowl can be made vegan by substituting the 2% milk and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
- Use a silicone spatula for easy separation and pouring of the pudding and smoothie layers.
