Blueberry chia seed pudding is a delicious and nutritious treat that is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. This simple recipe combines the creamy texture of milk with the health benefits of chia seeds and the sweet, tangy flavor of blueberries. Packed with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, this pudding is both satisfying and good for you.
Instructions:
- In a medium mixing bowl or a large jar, pour in 1 cup of milk.
- Add 4 tablespoons of chia seeds to the milk.
- Gently stir to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the milk. This will help prevent clumping.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, you can add a sweetener of your choice such as honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar at this point. Start with 1-2 teaspoons and adjust to taste.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes, then give it another good stir. This is to make sure the chia seeds are beginning to absorb the liquid and there are no clumps.
- Measure out 1/2 cup of blueberries. You can slightly mash half of the blueberries before adding them to release some of their juice, which will infuse the pudding with a blueberry flavor.
- Stir the blueberries into the chia seed and milk mixture. If you prefer, save a few whole blueberries for garnish.
- Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results. The chia seeds will absorb the milk and expand, creating a pudding-like consistency.
- Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir to evenly distribute the blueberries and ensure a smooth texture.
- Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or cups. Top with additional fresh blueberries or any other desired toppings such as a sprinkle of granola, shaved coconut, or a drizzle of honey.
- Serve the Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding chilled and enjoy as a breakfast treat, snack, or healthy dessert!
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability and preference.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the blueberries with the milk before mixing in the chia seeds.
- For added sweetness, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
- To enhance the flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Make sure to stir the mixture well initially to avoid clumping of chia seeds.
- Let the pudding sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, for the best texture.
- Feel free to top the pudding with additional fresh blueberries, nuts, or granola before serving.
