Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk (regular dairy milk or any preferred type)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup wild frozen blueberries
- 1/4 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
Optional Toppings
- Fresh berries
- Nut butter
- Granola
- Nuts
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or glass jar, mix together the milk, plain Greek yogurt, chia seeds, wild frozen blueberries, and maple syrup or honey. Using a glass jar like a mason jar allows for easy shaking and mixing.
- Let Sit Briefly: Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes, then stir or shake again to prevent the chia seeds from settling at the bottom and to start the gel formation.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 to 4 hours or preferably overnight. This resting time allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid fully, creating a tapioca-like pudding texture.
- Stir and Serve: After chilling, take the chia pudding out of the refrigerator and stir thoroughly. Add your favorite toppings like fresh berries, nut butter, granola, or nuts, then enjoy your healthy and satisfying pudding.
Notes
- This pudding is a high-fiber, nutrient-dense snack or breakfast option that you can prep ahead of time for convenience.
- Feel free to swap out dairy milk for any plant-based milk or dairy-free yogurt to make it vegan-friendly if desired.
- The longer the pudding sits, the thicker and more tapioca-like the texture becomes, so adjust chilling time to preference.
- Optional toppings add variety and extra flavor, making each serving customizable.
