Makes 2 servings (¾ cup per serving)
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2%)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 2½ cups sliced rhubarb
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup water

- In a medium saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is tender but not completely falling apart, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add lemon juice. If rhubarb mixture is too tart, add more sugar if needed.
- Set aside and let cool completely.
