Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Topping Ideas:

- Sliced almonds or chopped nuts
- Coconut flakes

Instructions
- Blend the blueberries: In a blender, blend the blueberries with almond milk until smooth.
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the blueberry milk mixture with chia seeds, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract (if using). Stir well to combine.
- Let it sit: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Check consistency: After chilling, give the pudding a good stir. If it's too thick, add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Divide the pudding into serving bowls or jars, add fresh blueberries and any additional toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sweetener to taste, or omit it if the blueberries are sweet enough.
- Consistency: If the pudding is too runny after chilling, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
- Milk options: You can use any milk, such as coconut, oat, or dairy milk.
