This blueberry chia seed pudding couldn’t be easier to make. With only 5 plant-based ingredients, it will have you coming back for more. It brings major flavour; however, almost no time in the kitchen. Perfect for meal prep! It takes less than 10 minutes to make! If you choose to eat it for breakfast, you can make a big batch at the start of every week. Or if you just feel like something fresh and sweet, you can easily make it, especially if you are on a tight schedule.
All you have to do is purée some blueberries in coconut milk and then stir in chia seeds. For extra zing, you can add a little cinnamon or honey. You can eat it straight away or even let the chia seeds soak overnight. If you want a bit of texture, sprinkle some roasted almonds or buckwheat groats on top. I use coconut milk to add extra sweetness; however, you can use any plant-based milk that you prefer. I know almond milk is very popular, but it tastes like paper to me.
I would not say that this recipe is particularly indulgent like some of my other desserts; however, it is definitely much healthier. The foundation of this treat is made with nutrient-dense chia seeds which are significantly high in fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds are great for making raw puddings as they expand when soaked in liquid.
When I think of the term “superfood”, blueberries are one of the first to comes to mind. Blueberries are known to be filled with nutritional value, in which they are packed with potassium, folate, antioxidants and vitamin C and B6. So, do yourself a favour and include these delicious cuties into your diet. You can start with making this blueberry chia seed pudding! Serve it in a jar, bowl or perhaps add it to your smoothie.
