Have I enticed you enough? Ready to make these Super Easy Snacks? Here is what you will need:
Equipment:
- Large Bowl
- 4 Serving Jars or Meal Prep Containers
Ingredients:
- 9 tbsp Chia Seed
- 1½ cup Vanilla Almond Milk, Unsweetened
- 6 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2½ cups Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
- ¼ cup Syrup, Sugar Free and Fat Free
- ¾ cup Raspberries, (about 20 raspberries)
Instructions:
This recipe calls for sprouted Chocolate Chia Seeds. To do this you will need to let the seeds sit overnight, or at least for 3 hours in the fridge.
- Sprouting your chia seeds: Combine chia seeds, milk, cocoa powder, yogurt, and syrup in a large bowl. Stir everything until well incorporated. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for three house, or overnight.
- After your chia seeds have rested in the fridge and fully expanded, divide your chocolate chia seed yogurt into 4 portions. Place into serving bowls or into containers with lids.
- Top each serving with 5 raspberries and enjoy. Or place the lid on your containers and store in the fridge.
Notes for Meal Prep:
This is a wonderful recipe for meal prepping, making ahead, and to have as a grab and go snack!
- Fridge: You can store the individual servings in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freezer: Yogurt really doesn’t like to be frozen and then later defrosted. Yogurt begins to separate during the defrosting process and becomes a watery mess. Therefore, I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Notes for Counting Macros:
PROTEIN:
The protein can be adjusted based on the amount of yogurt used.
- With each ounce of yogurt you can increase the protein by 3 grams. This Chocolate Chia Seed Raspberry Yogurt allows you to increase the amount of yogurt by 4 ounces, without changing the texture or flavor too much.
CARBOHYDRATE:
The carbohydrate can be adjusted based on the amount of chia seeds you use.
- Every tablespoon of chia seeds contains 4 grams of carbs. You can increase or decrease the amount of chia seeds by 3 tablespoons, without changing the texture or flavor too much.
It is important to know that in changing the amount of chia seeds you will not only be increasing or decreasing the amount of carbs. But also the amount of fat by the same number of grams. Each tablespoon of chia seeds contains 4 grams of fat.
FAT:
The fats in this chocolate chia seed raspberry yogurt can be increased by choosing another yogurt, one that is not fat free. For example:
- 2% fat greek yogurt has 2 grams of fat per every 4 ounces.
- 5% fat greek yogurt has 5 grams of fat per every 4 ounces.
Which allows you to replace the non-fat greek yogurt with as little or as much fat as you want.
As stated above, you can also increase or decrease the fats by changing the amount of chia seeds used.
- For every tablespoon of chia seeds there is 4 grams of fat.
When making adjustments to the macros in this Chocolate Raspberry Chai Seed Raspberry Yogurt you will want to keep in mind the number of servings you are making.
