Warm Pear & Chia Yogurt Digestive Cups
These gentle warm pear and chia yogurt cups are designed for GLP-1 users, combining soluble fiber, fluid, and magnesium-rich seeds to ease constipation. The small, protein-rich portions are easy on a sensitive stomach while supporting regularity despite reduced appetite.
Ingredients
- 160 g pear β peeled, cored, finely diced
- 60 ml water β room temperature
- 20 g chia seeds β whole
- 260 g plain greek yogurt 2 percent β cold
- 10 g ground flaxseed β freshly ground if possible
- 10 g honey β liquid optional
- 1 g ground cinnamon β ground optional
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add the diced pear and water, then cook over low-medium heat for 5β7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pear is very soft and the liquid slightly thickened; reduce heat if it starts to simmer vigorously to keep aromas mild.
- Stir in the ground cinnamon if using, then remove the pan from the heat and immediately mix in the chia seeds, stirring well so they are evenly distributed; let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken into a soft, spoonable gel.
- While the pear-chia mixture thickens, divide the Greek yogurt evenly into two small bowls or jars (about 130 g each) and gently stir in the ground flaxseed so it is well combined.
- Taste the warm pear-chia mixture and add honey if desired for gentle sweetness, then spoon it evenly over the yogurt in each bowl, letting it sink slightly into the yogurt for easier digestion.
- Let the cups stand for another 3β5 minutes so the chia can fully hydrate; serve slightly warm on top of cool yogurt, or refrigerate for 15 minutes if you prefer everything chilled and very mild in aroma.
Tips for GLP-1 users
Sip a glass of water alongside this snack to help the chia and flax work effectively for constipation, and eat slowlyβsmall, calm bites are usually better tolerated on GLP-1 medications.
If your stomach is very sensitive, start with half a portion to test tolerance, then increase next time as your gut adjusts to the added fiber.
