Curd with Chia and Walnuts
A simple yet powerful snack combining creamy yogurt with the crunch of walnuts and the nutritional boost of chia seeds. Lightly spiced with cinnamon, it's a perfect healthy treat to keep you energized.
For 4 servings
Combine yogurt, chia, and cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chia seeds and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Let the chia seeds bloom.
Cover the bowl and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes at room temperature, or in the refrigerator. This allows the chia seeds to absorb moisture and create a thicker, pudding-like texture.
