Ingredients

Chia Pudding Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup milk (any dairy or non-dairy milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup chia seeds

Optional Garnishes

  • Slivered almonds
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Yogurt

Instructions

  1. Blend Blueberries and Lemon Zest: Pulse the frozen blueberries and lemon zest in a blender until the blueberries are broken down into a smooth mixture. This enhances the flavor and texture of the pudding base.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the blended blueberry mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in the milk and maple syrup until well incorporated. Then add the chia seeds and mix thoroughly to ensure the seeds are evenly dispersed throughout the liquid.
  3. Refrigerate the Pudding: Divide the pudding evenly into 4 pint-sized jars or small bowls. Cover each with a lid or plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like consistency. Overnight refrigeration is preferable for best texture.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to mix any settled seeds. Garnish with your choice of slivered almonds, fresh blueberries, and/or a dollop of yogurt for added flavor and texture contrast.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk, including almond, soy, coconut, or cow’s milk, depending on your dietary preferences.
  • For a sweeter pudding, adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste.
  • Allowing the pudding to sit overnight enhances the texture and flavor.
  • To make it vegan, ensure vegan-friendly milk and maple syrup are used and omit yogurt or use a plant-based alternative.
  • Stir the pudding well before serving as chia seeds can settle at the bottom during refrigeration.
