This refreshing Blueberry Chia Pudding is a nutritious, dairy-free breakfast or snack option that combines antioxidant-rich blueberries with omega-3 packed chia seeds. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup or dates, and enhanced with coconut and oat milk, this creamy pudding offers a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness with a hint of lemon zest.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup canned full-fat or light coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened oat milk or soy milk
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or 2 Medjool dates
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Blend ingredients: In a blender, combine frozen blueberries, coconut milk, oat milk, lemon juice, maple syrup (or dates), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Mix with chia seeds: Pour the blended blueberry mixture into a bowl and stir in the chia seeds until they are evenly distributed.
  3. Initial refrigeration: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 5 minutes, then stir again thoroughly to prevent chia seeds from clumping together.
  4. Final thickening: Allow the pudding to sit in the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes so it thickens to the perfect pudding consistency before serving.

Notes

  • For a sweeter pudding, add more maple syrup or extra dates to taste.
  • Use fresh blueberries if preferred, but the texture will be less smooth.
  • Make sure to stir the pudding a couple of times during setting to avoid clumping.
  • Chia pudding can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more oat or coconut milk before refrigerating.
