Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus a few extra for garnish)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to your preferred sweetness)

3 tablespoons chia seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

A pinch of salt

Cooking spray (to facilitate easy removal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or spoon to mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

    Fold in Blueberries: Gently add 1 cup of fresh blueberries to the yogurt mixture, being careful not to mash them. If you prefer a more marbled effect, consider lightly crushing half of the blueberries with a fork before folding them into the yogurt.

      Incorporate Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds until they're evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes; this will give the chia seeds time to absorb some moisture and expand slightly, enhancing their texture.

        Prepare Silicone Molds: Generously spray the inside of your silicone coin molds with cooking spray to ensure the yogurt coins can be removed easily after freezing.

          Fill the Molds: Spoon the yogurt-chia mixture into each silicone mold, filling them just shy of the top. Use a spatula or spoon to smoothen the surface for an even appearance.

            Add a Garnish: Place a few extra fresh blueberries on top of each coin for added visual appeal and a delightful burst of flavor.

              Freeze the Coins: Carefully transfer the filled molds into the freezer, ensuring they are level. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt coins are completely solid.

                Unmold and Serve: Once the coins are fully frozen, gently pull and twist each coin to release them from the molds. Enjoy immediately or transfer them to an airtight container for later use, storing them back in the freezer.

                  Optional Serving Suggestions: For an indulgent touch, consider drizzling a little honey or melted dark chocolate over the top of the yogurt coins just before serving.
