Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon pinch of sea salt

Method
 

  1. Grab a medium bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Pour in one cup of your chosen milk.
  2. Add the chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the milk. Whisk everything together vigorously for about 30 seconds.
  3. Let the mixture sit for five minutes, then whisk again.
  4. Gently fold in half of the blueberries. Reserve the remaining berries for topping.
  5. Cover your container and refrigerate for at least four hours, though overnight works best.
  6. Before serving, give your blueberry chia pudding a good stir. Top with the remaining fresh blueberries and any additional toppings you desire.

Notes

This pudding can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to five days. Adjust the thickness by adding more milk if it becomes too thick. You can customize the recipe with different milk alternatives, sweeteners, and berry variations.
