Equipment

1 high speed blender or food processor

Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or yogurt of choice)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or favorite milk)
4 Medjool dates
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup diced apple (I use a Honeycrisp)
¼ cup chia seeds

Instructions

Chop your apple into small pieces. Remove the pits from the dates and roughly chop them. In a high speed blender or food processor, add the dates, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla, syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt. Blend until smooth. There will still be some date chunks and that's ok!
Pour the mixture into a medium bowl, add the chia seeds and diced apple and stir with a good whisk. Let the mixture rest 10-15 minutes and give it another good stir. This helps prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Optional: top with sauteed diced apple before serving.

Notes

Expert Tips

Roughly chop the dates before adding them to your food processor or blender. This will help them blend a bit easier.
Don't skip the double stir. After whisking in the chia seeds, let it sit about 10-15 minutes at room temperature and whisk it very well again before refrigerating.
Patience is key! Give it at least 4 hours in the fridge for the chia seeds to plump up to their full potential. Make it the night before and portion it into individual containers for a ready-to-go breakfast.

Storage

Refrigerator - store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
If you want to store it in individual jars, here are some options: Wide Mouth Mason Jar, Mason Jars with Bamboo Lids

Dietitian Tip

Chia seeds have nearly 10 grams of fiber per ounce or 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. And this chia pudding can be enjoyed as the perfect fall breakfast or a healthy dessert or snack! I like to have it with an extra scoop of Greek yogurt and sautéed apples.
