It is save to say that from when I’ve started my first ever baking classes, I did not do a single cookie or any sweets at home.
First of all, I do enjoy baking but I’m not a big sweet eater, I prefer watching the others enjoying my bakings ☺️
Second, with all that bakings during the baking classes, I always ended up going home with 2 bags full of sweets.
So yes, definitely I was not in a need to bake more sweets at home.
But the other day, I’ve took half day off work because I needed to settle some things and I was at home earlier and I was in the mood for a delicious but healthy snack.
The good thing when you’re at home and you’re craving for a snack is that you have the fridge at your disposal.
Nope, I don’t have a dog in the fridge 🐶 and I don’t usually store too much food inside my fridge because I want to avoid food waste, but some essential things I always have like plain natural yogurt, chia seeds and fresh fruits.
So here’s my super easy, delicious and healthy snack.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 tablespoons of natural plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- Fresh fruits (apple, blueberries)
Directions
Put the natural plain Greek yogurt and the chia seeds in a bowl, mix it well and leave it for around 5 minutes in the fridge.
Cut the apple in small pieces and together with the blueberries add on top of the yogurt.
That’s pretty much it!
Enjoy it!
