Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds The main ingredient that swells to create pudding texture.
  • 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice) Almond milk keeps the flavor light.
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional) Adjust sweetness based on preference.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt Sharpens blueberry flavor.

Finishing Touch

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until no dry chia is visible.
  • Let the bowl sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia to absorb liquid.
  • Stir again to break up any clumps, ensuring an even mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the pudding has thickened.
  • Just before serving, gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  • Spoon into bowls or jars and serve cold.

Notes

For best results, do not skip the second stir to prevent clumping. The pudding will thicken over time, so check its consistency before serving.
