DIRECTIONS


  1. Mix chia seeds and ½ cup hot water in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes to hydrate the chia seeds.

  2. Stir in vanilla, honey, and a pinch of sea salt.

  3. Add Greek yogurt and nut milk. Whisk to combine thoroughly. This mix will keep in the refrigerator for 4–5 days.

  4. Top with fig quarters, chopped nuts, and another drizzle of honey. Refrigerate at least an hour before serving. (Pro tip: Meal prep for the week by making the chia yogurt the night before. It’ll be cool and ready to go in the morning.)
