Lemony Yogurt Chia Pudding
This delicious recipe from Vail Health Behavioral Health's Dr. Eliza Klearman packs a lemony punch and makes for a super easy, go-to breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups milk of your choice
- 2T honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Juice of 2 lemons (about 6T juice)
- ½ cup chia seeds
- Toppings of your choice (fruit, nuts, seeds, coconut, cacao nibs, etc.)
Directions
- Blend the yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla, and lemon juice in a blender.
- Place two tablespoons of chia seeds in 4 separate bowls or jars (2T/ jar). I like using glass jars with lids so I can shake them up and then just grab a jar when I am ready to eat.
- Divide your yogurt mixture into each of the jars and mix them well so that the chia seeds are distributed throughout the yogurt.
- Put on the lids, give a good shake for extra measure, and put them in the fridge. They should sit for at least 6 hours before eating, just to let the chia seeds plump, which makes for a nice, thick chia pudding.
- Top with whatever you want and enjoy!

The Midnight Bathroom Run: Why It Happens and How to Stop It
If you’re waking up at night to pee, you’re not alone, and you’re not doomed to a lifetime of restless sleep. Nocturia, or nighttime urination, is one of the most common and under-discussed sleep disruptors, affecting both men and women, especially as we age. But according to Dr. Joseph Dall’Era, a urologist at Vail Health, it’s not something you have to simply “live with.” “Usually, we imply nocturia if the urge to urinate is what actually wakes people up,” Dall’Era explains. “For most people, getting up once a night isn’t a big deal. But if it starts to interfere with sleep quality or you notice a change in how often it’s happening, that’s worth a closer look.”
