Ingredients

• Chia Seeds: these tiny seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and fiber. They also contribute to the gel-like consistency of the pudding.
• Oat Milk: a popular non-dairy alternative, adds a creamy texture to the pudding. But be careful because oat based milk is usually is high in carbs and sugars and can spike your blood sugar. 
• Blueberries: full of antioxidants and an excellent source of fiber, they are are a fruit that is not as high in sugar but still brings sweetness to the chia seed pudding. 
• Peanut Butter: plant-based protein and adds creaminess to the recipe 
• Optional Honey: a natural sweetener of choice, with antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Do not use for babies under 1 years of age due to risk of botulism. 

How to Make This Pudding

1. In a bowl or glass jar, combine the chia seeds and milk. Stir well to avoid clumping and ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
2. Cover the bowl or glass jar and allow the mixture to sit overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Once the pudding reaches your desired thickness, layer it into serving glasses or mason jars with a layer of chia pudding, then blueberries, then chia.
4. Top the pudding with blueberries, creating a colorful and nutritious layer.
5. Drizzle a teaspoon of peanut butter over each serving. 
6. Finish off by drizzling honey on top, creating a sweet and satisfying balance
