Chocolate Chia Seed Yogurt

Want a delicious, sweet breakfast that will fill you up?
Try this chocolate chia seed yogurt. I was full before I even finished the bowl.
That's what's so great about chia seeds; they fill you up fast!

Recipe:
  • 6oz of greek non-fat plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 tbs of chia seeds
  • 1 tbs Hershey's special dark chocolate powder 
  • 1/3 tbs light agave nectar (if you'd like it a little more sweet)  
Mix all the ingredients together and let it sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of a half hour. The chia seeds will soak up the liquids, making it a thicker consistency. If you let it sit overnight, it will be even better!
I topped mine with a tablespoon of Teddy Peanut Butter with Flaxseed and a half of a banana. Some other great toppings would be strawberries and walnuts or you can always just eat it on it's own!
