Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl with Poached Pears and Toasted Almonds

In a glass bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and chia seeds until fully incorporated. Let this sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to hydrate and thicken the mixture into a luscious pudding-like consistency.

While the mixture sets, prepare your fruit. Slice the fresh pear thinly. If desired, lightly poach the slices in a small pan with a splash of water and a pinch of cinnamon until just tender but still holding their shape.

Once the chia base has thickened, stir in a splash of water or milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl. Arrange the pear slices in a fan pattern on top. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds for a necessary textural crunch. Finish with a final dusting of fresh cinnamon or a drop of honey if the fruit sweetness needs elevating. Serve immediately.
