Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Hey there! I’m Lauren, and I’m excited to share this Easy Blueberry Chia Pudding recipe with you. We chose this recipe because it’s a perfect fit for our busy lifestyle.

We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do!

Key Ingredients

• Wild blueberries are the little blueberries that burst with flavor and antioxidants, making them a delicious and nutritious addition to our pudding. They are more nutritious than the regular blueberry. Go wild if you can!
• Chia seeds are known for their high fiber and omega-3 content and they add a nice texture, thickness and help keep you feeling full longer.
• Lemon zest pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the blueberries and brings a bright, fresh flavor to the pudding.
• Maple syrup is our preferred natural sweetener to add just the right amount of sweetness without any refined sugars, keeping the pudding healthy and delicious.
• Coconut milk or soy milk are two options that provide a creamy base for the pudding. Coconut milk adds a subtle tropical flavor, while soy milk gives an extra boost of protein.

The Process

Making the Easy Blueberry Chia Pudding couldn’t be easier! First you add the blueberries, coconut or soy milk, lemon juice and zest, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Place the chia seeds in a separate medium-sized bowl. Pour in the blended blueberry milk and mix together with a whisk or spatula until fully combined.

Place the mixture in the fridge to set. After 5 minutes, give the chia pudding a mix and allow it to continue setting for an additional 10 minutes before serving. Give the mixture another stir before serving and top as desired.

The Verdict

This recipe was a hit! It’s an easy breakfast to make ahead of time or meal prep, and it’s both filling and nutrient-dense. I love the combination of blueberries with lemon, and the slight sweetness from the maple syrup is just perfect. I had all the ingredients on hand, so it came together quickly and effortlessly.
