This is an easy breakfast meal made with a layer of chia seeds, strawberries and full-fat yogurt (or coconut yogurt if you can't do dairy), with no sweeteners needed
These tasty low-carb breakfast jars can be made without any sweeteners! Strawberries and cinnamon give them a subtle, natural sweetness, and full-fat yogurt will add a refreshing zing. If you can't eat dairy, substitute dairy yogurt with coconut milk yogurt or creamed coconut milk.

Ingredients (makes 4 servings)
Chia layer:
Strawberry layer:
- 1 cup strawberries (144 g/ 5.1 oz)
- 2 tbsp water (30 ml/ 1 fl oz)
- Optional: liquid Stevia to taste
Strawberry & yogurt layer:
- 4 large strawberries, sliced (72 g/ 2.5 oz)
- 1 cup full-fat yogurt or coconut yogurt such as Coyo or creamed coconut milk (250 g/ 8.8 oz)
Instructions
- Slice 1 cup of strawberries (reserve 4 large strawberries for the top layer).
- Place the sliced strawberries in a small sauce pan and add 2 tablespoons of water. Bring to a simmer and cook until soft, for just a few minutes. Break the strawberries using a fork or a spatula and set aside. Optionally, add a few drops of stevia. (Note: You can skip the cooking and simply mash fresh strawberries with a fork).
- In a small bowl, mix the chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger powder and coconut milk. Optionally, add a few drops of stevia.
- Set aside to soak for 20-30 minutes. Then, use a spoon and divide the chia mixture between 4 jars.
- Add the cooked strawberry layer. Then, add the sliced strawberries, pressing them to the sides of each jar.
- Top with full-fat yogurt (I like Fage Total, 5% fat), or use coconut milk yogurt or creamed coconut milk.
- Alternatively use coconut yogurt for dairy-free. Note that the nutrition facts will vary as it will typically contain more fat.
- Eat immediately, or cover and place in the fridge for up to 3 days.
