Blueberry Chia Pudding
Description
The Blueberry Chia Pudding is made by blending almond milk with blueberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to create a smooth flavored base. When combined with chia seeds and chilled, the mixture thickens as the seeds absorb the liquid, giving a pudding-like consistency with a subtle fruit taste. The sweetness from maple syrup balances the mild tang of blueberries.
The texture is creamy but slightly gelatinous due to the chia seeds, offering a pleasant mouthfeel. The pudding is kept in a mason jar which is convenient for storage and serving. Adding fresh blueberries and granola on top introduces fresh bursts and a crunchy element that complements the creamy pudding.
This pudding works well as a make-ahead breakfast or a light, wholesome snack. It can be customized by adjusting sweetness or using different milk varieties according to preference.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice, unsweetened
- ½ cup blueberries plus more for topping, frozen or fresh
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup plus more as needed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Add milk, blueberries, maple syrup and vanilla to a blender and blend until smooth and combined.
- Add blueberry milk to a mason jar and stir in chia seeds. Let sit for 5 minutes then stir the mixture again to get out any clumps that may have formed. Place mixture in the fridge to set, at least 30 minutes but up to 12 hours.
