Blueberry Chia Pudding Ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup (40 grams) chia seeds
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Pour almond milk, blueberries, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into a high-powered blender, processing until the mixture transforms into a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Transfer the silky liquid into a clean glass container or ceramic bowl, sealing with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap to prevent moisture loss.
- Refrigerate the pudding for a minimum of two hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a luxurious, pudding-like texture. For optimal results, let it rest overnight.
- Prior to serving, gently stir the pudding to redistribute the ingredients and ensure a smooth, even consistency.
- Enhance the pudding’s visual appeal and nutritional profile by garnishing with a vibrant array of fresh blueberries, crunchy sliced almonds, and delicate shredded coconut.
- Serve chilled and enjoy this nutrient-dense, refreshing dessert that combines creamy texture with bright, natural flavors.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any blueberry skin or seed particles.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like coconut, oat, or cashew milk to create unique flavor profiles and cater to different dietary preferences.
- Enhance the nutritional value by adding a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter during the blending process for extra protein and healthy fats.
- Make this pudding ahead of time and store in individual portion containers for a quick, grab-and-go breakfast or snack throughout the week.
