Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (almond milk, coconut milk, or any milk)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Whisk chia seeds, milk, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a mixing bowl until thoroughly integrated.
- Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, then briskly stir to eliminate any potential seed clusters.
- Seal the bowl and refrigerate for minimum 2 hours, enabling chia seeds to expand and absorb liquid completely.
- Pulse blueberries in a blender until achieving a silky, uniform consistency, incorporating minimal water if necessary for smooth blending.
- Create visual layers by alternating chia pudding and blueberry puree in a transparent serving vessel, generating an elegant marbled presentation.
- Embellish with fresh blueberries and optional garnishes like crunchy granola, chopped nuts, or delicate coconut shavings.
- Experiment with personalized toppings and sweetness levels to craft a perfectly tailored nutritious treat suitable for breakfast, midday refreshment, or guilt-free dessert.
Notes
- Soak chia seeds thoroughly to ensure a smooth, creamy texture without clumps, gently stirring every few minutes during the initial absorption phase.
- For a dairy-free version, swap cow’s milk with almond, coconut, or oat milk to accommodate different dietary needs while maintaining the pudding’s rich consistency.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of lemon zest to elevate the blueberry flavor and introduce a subtle aromatic complexity to the pudding.
- Prep the pudding the night before for a quick, grab-and-go breakfast that saves time and allows flavors to develop more deeply overnight.
