Warm Chia–Prune Yogurt Cup
This warm chia–prune yogurt cup is designed for GLP-1 users who need gentle relief from constipation, combining soluble fiber, fluids, and magnesium-rich seeds. The small, protein-rich portion is easy to digest, lightly warmed to reduce nausea triggers, and nutrient-dense to support you when overall intake is low.
Ingredients
- 200 g plain greek yogurt (2% or 5% fat) — chilled
- 60 g prunes — finely chopped
- 120 ml water — room temperature
- 20 g chia seeds — whole
- 10 g ground flaxseed — ground
- 15 g pumpkin seeds — roughly chopped optional
- 10 g honey — liquid optional
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the chopped prunes and water, then bring to a gentle simmer over low heat for 3–4 minutes until the prunes are very soft and the mixture is slightly thickened.
- Stir in the chia seeds and ground flaxseed, remove from heat, and let sit for 3–5 minutes to thicken and cool slightly; the mixture should become jam-like but still spoonable.
- In a bowl, gently whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth, then divide it evenly between two small serving bowls.
- Spoon the warm prune–chia mixture over the yogurt in each bowl, then top with pumpkin seeds and drizzle with honey if using; serve slightly warm or at room temperature, adding a splash of extra water if it feels too thick.
Tips for GLP-1 users
Sip a glass of water (150–250 ml) alongside this snack to help the fiber from prunes, chia, and flax move through the gut, which is especially important when GLP-1 medications slow motility.
If your stomach is very sensitive, let the prune–chia mixture cool to just lukewarm and start with half a portion to see how your gut tolerates the added fiber.
