Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup Greek-style yogurt
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 scoops protein or collagen peptides powder
  • 1-2 lemons, juice and zest (depending on how lemon-y you prefer)
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)

Toppings Optional

  • Whipped coconut cream – recipe link below in notes
  • Lemon zest or slices
  • Chopped nuts or seeds

Instructions

  • Place the almond milk, yogurt, protein powder, lemon zest and juice, honey and turmeric into a bowl and mix together.
    Stir in chia seeds and mix thoroughly to prevent clumping.
    Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes, then stir again.
    Taste and adjust sweet and tang. Add more honey or lemon juice or zest to taste and mix/blend in. Or add more turmeric for a deeper lemon colour.
    Pour the mixture into 2 glasses. Chill overnight in the refrigerator. Stir once after an hour or so to distribute the chia seeds if needed.
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thickened.
    Stir before serving and top with whipped coconut cream (recipe link below in notes) and lemon zest and serve.
