Chia seeds are known for their amazing health benefits, including being high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, while Greek yogurt and cream cheese add a creamy texture and boost of protein. This recipe is super easy to prepare and can be made ahead of time, making it ideal for meal prep. Let’s dive into the details!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup milk (any milk of your choice - I like Fairlife)
Juice of 1/2 lime (or 1 tablespoon)
Zest of 1/2 lime (or 1 teaspoon)
Pinch of salt
2 oz cream cheese
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon liquid stevia (or sweetener of your choice - if using agave or maple syrup, do 1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 - 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I like the Oikos Pro with 25g protein)
1-2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs or crushed Simple Mills Sweet Thins Honey & Cinnamon (I do half a serving)
Instructions:
Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl (with a lid), combine chia seeds, milk, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, liquid stevia, cream cheese, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Let Sit and Stir: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before stirring well again to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Refrigerate: Add the lid and place the jar/bowl in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, or overnight. The longer it sits, the more the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture.
Add Toppings: When you are ready to eat, add the Greek yogurt on top, followed by the graham cracker crumbs or crushed sweet thins for that authentic key lime pie crunch.
