Coconut yogurt is a healthy snack, with good fats and probiotics.  Add chia seeds and you get the added boost of fibre and omega-3!

This is one of my all time favorite breakfasts or snacks.

Ingredients
  • Coconut Yogurt Kefir ** (see substitutions below***)
  • 1-2 Tablespoons of chia seeds
  • Slice up your favorite seasonal fruit for flavor – bananas, mangoes, berries, passion fruit, pomegranate, etc…
  • Add some raw nuts for crunch
  • Some cacao nibs or sweetened cacao nibs for a treat
  • Sprinkle with some plain oatmeal or raw buckwheat granola

Directions
  • Mix the chia seeds with the yogurt and let soak at least ten minutes before eating.  
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, either mix or layer depending upon your preference.

You can either mix this up for a casual bowl, or layer it beautifully in champagne glasses for a lovely parfait.  It makes a perfect breakfast or morning snack at your desk.  It is easy to make up the night before and store in the fridge too!

** Note - Coconut yogurt is very filling, I often find just a 1/4 cup is enough for one sitting, so start small as you can always add more.

*** Substitutions – instead of coconut yogurt kefir, you could use milk kefir, whole fat plain greek yogurt or whole fat plain yogurt.  Do be sure to choose a yogurt with no added sugar.
