Ingredients for blueberry chia seed pudding

  • blueberries: fresh organic blueberries are best for this recipe, though you can use frozen ones.
  • milk: I used almond milk here but any type of milk would do like cashew, oat, coconut, and regular dairy.
  • chia seeds: organic seeds are my preference. I used this brand.
  • vanilla: adds a nice subtle flavor to the pudding.
  • honey: this reduces the tartness of the blueberries. You can use your favorite sweeteners in its place like agave syrup, maple syrup, or regular sugar.
  • toppings: [optional] get creative with healthy toppings for your chia pudding. I used more blueberries here but you can add other berries, walnuts, almonds, banana slices, yogurt, or shredded coconut. Let your imagination run wild.

Equipment

I used my Ninja Kitchen system with the smoothie cup attachment. But, a Magic Bullet blender or regular blender would work just as well here.

Prep

There’s very little prep for this recipe other than checking the blueberries, removing any bad ones and giving them a good rinse.

Here’s a look at the ingredients I used.

Blend

I added the washed blueberries, milk, vanilla and honey to my smoothie cup attachment and blended until relatively smooth.

It’s important to taste test the blended mix at this point. Blueberries can be more tart than sweet so it’s important to check the sweetness level. If it isn’t sweet enough for you, add more honey to balance the mix. Trust me! It’s so good when you get the sweetness just right.

Once the mix was to my liking, I added in the chia seeds and stirred well to incorporate.

Next, I divided the mix into two and poured into serving glasses. Each glass probably had 3/4 cup of the blueberry chia pudding (or maybe slightly more).

I popped the glasses into the fridge and left them for at least 2 hours for the chia to soak up the liquid. More often than not, I leave it overnight and have it the next day but you can enjoy the chia pudding for 2 to 3 days after making.

That’s pretty much it! It’s one of the great ways to eat chia seeds, especially as a healthy breakfast.
