Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)

Zest from 1 lemon

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on tartness preference)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chia seeds

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture:

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.

      Add Chia Seeds:

        Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to swell and absorb some moisture.

          Drop the Mixture:

            Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the yogurt-chia mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating small dollops.

              Freeze:

                Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the yogurt drops freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely solid.

                  Store:

                    Once frozen, carefully transfer the drops to an airtight container or zip-top bag for longer storage. Enjoy them straight from the freezer as a refreshing treat!

                      Serve:

                        For serving, you can enjoy them immediately or take them out to thaw for a few minutes to soften slightly before eating.
