Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups cashew milk almond milk or coconut milk
  • 4 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 pint blueberries plus more for garnish
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • blackberry for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the chia seeds and milk to a bowl and give it a stir. Let the chia seeds sit for 10-15 minutes, then give them another stir before placing in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  2. To make the blueberry puree, add one pint of blueberries and one tablespoon of honey to a small pot on medium heat. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring frequently and using the back of a spoon to mash the blueberries up and break them down. 
  3. Once you have a puree, transfer it to a storage container and chill it in the fridge.
  4. To assemble, add half of the chia pudding to a bowl. Top with two tablespoons of blueberry puree and two tablespoons of almond butter. Garnish with fresh berries and chopped pistachios.

Notes

  • If chia seeds fail to gel, they may be old; use fresh seeds to ensure proper thickening.
  • The recipe yields large portions and can be divided into three servings if preferred.
  • Leftover blueberry puree can be stored for later use as a topping for oatmeal or more chia pudding.
  • Homemade cashew milk and almond butter can simplify preparation if made ahead and on hand.
