Why it's good for you

Chia seeds absorb liquid and expand, which slows digestion and supports steady blood sugar. The Greek yogurt adds a meaningful protein boost, while walnuts and almonds bring unsaturated fats and additional fiber — nutrients associated with heart and metabolic health.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla-flavored unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup plain low-fat or fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps

  1. Whisk together the almond milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
  2. Whisk in the chia seeds. Let stand 30 minutes, stirring once or twice if the seeds start to clump.
  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  4. The next morning, stir in the sliced almonds and walnuts, then spoon into bowls or glasses.
