Why You’ll Love This Chia Yoghurt Bowl

  • Creamy, fruity and refreshing
  • Ready in 5 minutes
  • Vegan & gluten-free option
  • Great for breakfast or snack
  • No cooking required
  • Balanced: fibre, protein & antioxidants

This is definitely one you can prep in advance, and I often make it the night before. The kids have also started taking yogurt for lunch (they use one of these yogurt things ) and it’s been really handy.

I also used to buy my own pomegranates and get the seeds out, but no chance any more 😅. I don’t have the time and it’s amazing you can buy them in frozen packets!

Anyway, this is a really tasty and easy recipe, and of course you can make it vegan with soy (or similar) yogurt!

Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Chia seeds: Essential for texture and fibre. Use whole, not ground.
  • Yoghurt: Greek yoghurt for protein, or coconut/soy for vegan.
  • Almond milk: Any plant milk works. Oat, soy or cashew are great.
  • Pomegranate seeds: Adds juicy crunch. Sub with blueberries if needed.
  • Raspberries: Fresh or frozen. Strawberries or blackberries are fine.
  • Elderberry syrup: Maple or agave is also totally fine.
  • Elderberries (dried, optional): Unique antioxidant boost.

How to Make Chia Yoghurt Bowl

Mix chia base

Combine chia seeds, almond milk and yoghurt. Let sit 5–10 minutes.

Top it up

Add pomegranate, berries and optional elderberries.

Drizzle syrup

Add a little maple or agave if you like it sweeter.

Pro Tips

  • Stir chia after 5 minutes to avoid clumps.
  • Prep the night before for best texture and speed.
  • Add protein powder if you want a macro boost.

Variations

  • High-protein chia pudding: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
  • Tropical version: Use mango and pineapple instead of berries.
  • Extra crunch: Add toasted coconut or chopped nuts.

Serving Suggestions

  • Perfect with coffee or smoothie on the side
  • Serve with granola on top for added crunch
  • Pair with a boiled egg for a savoury kick
