FAQs
Can I use instant coffee instead of brewed coffee?
Yes, you can dissolve instant coffee in hot water and let it cool before mixing with the other ingredients. Just be sure it’s fully cooled to avoid cooking the chia seeds prematurely.
What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?
You can substitute with any thick yogurt you have on hand, including dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt. The texture might vary slightly but will still be delicious.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or thick dairy free yogurt)
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee
- 1.5–2 tbsp maple syrup (or liquid sweetener)
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 shake cinnamon (or to taste)

- Mix Thoroughly: Secure the lid and shake the jar vigorously until all ingredients are well combined, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed and start absorbing the liquid.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight (at least 6-8 hours) to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquids and thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
