Ingredients
  

1 cup plain yogurt (either Greek or regular)

1/2 cup almond butter (choose creamy for smoothness or crunchy for texture)

1/2 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (sweeten to your preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

A pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Fresh berries or chocolate chips (optional, for garnishing)

Instructions
 

Combine Base Ingredients: In a sizable mixing bowl, use a whisk to blend together the yogurt, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, almond extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

    Add Chia Seeds: Gently fold in the chia seeds, ensuring they are well incorporated into the yogurt blend. A rubber spatula can be particularly useful for achieving an even mixing without lumps.

      Transfer to Molds: Carefully spoon the almond-yogurt mixture into silicone molds or small round ice cube trays, filling each compartment halfway. If silicone molds are not available, you can dollop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

        Top with Almonds: Evenly distribute sliced almonds on top of each coin, gently pressing them into the mixture to embed them slightly.

          Freeze: Place your filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the yogurt coins are completely firm and solid.

            Serve: Once fully frozen, carefully remove the yogurt coins from the molds. For an extra touch, garnish each coin with fresh berries or a sprinkle of chocolate chips, if using.

              Store: To keep your Chia Coins fresh, transfer them to an airtight container, layered with parchment paper to prevent sticking, and store them in the freezer. They make for an excellent refreshing snack or a guilt-free dessert option!
