Ingredients

• Frozen Blueberries: Bursting with antioxidants, these little blue gems add a sweet and tangy flavor to your pudding while providing essential vitamins and minerals.
• Almond Milk: A creamy, plant-based milk that complements the blueberries perfectly. It's low in calories and a good source of vitamin E.
• Chia Seeds: Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, chia seeds are the main ingredient of this recipe. They absorb liquid, creating a pudding-like consistency.
• Nut Butter: Whether you choose peanut or hazelnut, nut butter adds a rich and nutty flavor. It also contributes healthy fats and a creamy texture to the pudding.

Extra Toppings

• Slivered Almonds or Chopped Nuts: These toppings provide a delightful crunch, enhancing both the texture and flavor of your chia seed pudding.

How to Make This Recipe (step-by-step instructions):

1. Blend: In a small blender, combine ⅔ of the blueberries with almond milk. Blend until you achieve a smooth, purple milk.
2. Transfer: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl or jar intended for serving.
3. Mix: Add chia seeds and mix until well incorporated.
4. Chill: Place the mixture in the fridge overnight for the best texture. If you're in a hurry and you need the chia to absorb the milk quicker and make a blueberry chia seed pudding then heat up the blueberry milk. The warm milk accelerates the process of chia seeds absorbing the milk. 
5. Stir: Before serving, give the chia seed pudding a good stir. Add the nut butter and the remaining blueberries, stirring them in. Top with slivered almonds or your choice of nuts.

Additions

• Maple Syrup: drizzle a bit of maple syrup for natural sweetness and a hint of caramel flavor.
• Vanilla Extract: enhance the overall taste with a few drops of vanilla extract, adding a subtle aromatic note.
• ​Lemon zest: add some lemon zest for a zing
• Coconut flakes: top with some crunchy coconut flakes 
• Fresh fruit: top with berries or cut up banana for added nutrition and sweetness 

Variations

• Use a different milk: you can use any kind of plant based milk such as oat milk, coconut milk, cashew milk or even yogurt or vegan coconut yogurt. 
• Use fresh blueberries: you can use fresh blueberries instead of frozen blueberries throughout this recipe. We prefer frozen because we always have them in our freezer. 
• Use mixed berries instead of blueberries: a frozen mix of berries instead of the fresh blueberries will give you a delicious berry chia pudding recipe

Tips

• For the best texture, let the blueberry chia seed pudding sit overnight.
• Use an airtight container for storing to maintain freshness.
• Experiment with different plant-based milks such as soy milk or oat milk for diverse flavors.
• Add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds if you prefer a thicker consistency.
