Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

Juice and zest of 2 large lemons

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chia seeds

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Add the Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds, ensuring they are well dispersed throughout the yogurt mixture. This will add texture and health benefits!

Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to expand and the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Prepare for Freezing: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a teaspoon, drop small dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each drop as they may spread slightly while freezing.

Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the yogurt drops freeze for about 2-3 hours, or until solid.

Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, gently remove the chia drops from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy these refreshing bites straight from the freezer for a cool treat!
