This Chia Smoothie Bowl combines creamy chia seed pudding with a vibrant strawberry Greek yogurt smoothie. It’s a nutritious, make-ahead breakfast or snack that’s naturally sweetened with honey and topped with fresh strawberries, chocolate chips, and extra chia seeds for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Chia Seed Pudding

  • 1 1/2 cups 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Smoothie

  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Toppings

  • Chopped strawberries (for topping)
  • Chocolate chips (for topping)
  • Additional chia seeds (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare chia seed pudding: In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of 2% milk, 1/2 cup chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons honey. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture for one minute until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight to allow the chia seeds to swell and create a thick pudding consistency.
  2. Make the strawberry Greek yogurt smoothie: In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup strawberries, and 2 tablespoons honey. Blend with the immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate overnight to chill and enhance flavors.
  3. Assemble the smoothie bowls: The next morning, spoon about 1/2 cup of the thickened chia seed pudding onto one side of the bowl. Use a silicone spatula to hold the pudding to that side while pouring approximately 1/2 cup of the strawberry smoothie on the other side of the bowl. Remove the spatula, letting the two mixtures meet in the middle.
  4. Add toppings: Garnish the assembled bowl with chopped fresh strawberries, a sprinkle of chocolate chips, and a dusting of extra chia seeds for crunch and visual appeal.

Notes

  • For best results, refrigerate the chia pudding and smoothie overnight to allow proper thickening and flavor development.
  • You can substitute 2% milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option, but the texture may vary slightly.
  • Adjust the honey amount based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • The immersion blender helps achieve a smooth consistency but a regular blender can be used if needed.
  • This recipe is great for meal prepping breakfast or a quick nourishing snack.
