Equipment
- Immersion blender or blender
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1 large Medjool date optional
- 1 ½ cups frozen berries
- ½ cup Greek-style yogurt or thick yogurt
- ¼ cup nondairy milk or any milk
Optional for serving:
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Soak chia seeds: In a small bowl, soak chia seeds in water. Stir well and let sit 10 minutes or until a gel forms. Stir frequently so all seeds soak evenly.
- Soak the date: Place the date in hot water to cover for 10 minutes. Drain and pit the date.
- Blend frozen berries, nondairy milk, yogurt, and soaked dates with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Stir the chia gel into the blended base until fully incorporated.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate.
- Optional: Top with pumpkin seeds to boost protein and magnesium for serving.
Notes
- Stir the chia gel into the blended base thoroughly, breaking up any clumps with the back of a spoon so it disperses evenly.
- Prefer less sweetness? Omit the date and finish with a drizzle of date syrup or maple syrup to taste.
