Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Incorporate the zest from one lemon and 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Whisk vigorously for another 1–2 minutes.
  3. Gradually sprinkle in 1/2 cup of chia seeds while continuously whisking. Whisk for about 1 minute until the chia seeds are well-coated.
