Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup oat milk
  • 1 cup light coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the blueberries. If you’re using fresh blueberries, give them a quick rinse. For a more intense blueberry flavor throughout the pudding, gently mash about half to two-thirds of the blueberries in a small bowl with a fork. Keep the remaining blueberries whole for layering or garnishing later. If using frozen blueberries, you can thaw them briefly or add them directly.
  2. Mix the liquids and flavorings. In a medium-sized bowl or a large jar, pour in your chosen milk. Add the fresh lemon juice, your preferred sweetener, and the vanilla extract if you’re using it. Whisk these ingredients together really well until the sweetener is fully dissolved and everything is nicely combined.
  3. Add the chia seeds and lemon zest. Now, sprinkle the chia seeds into the wet mixture. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds to a minute to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together. After whisking, stir in the lemon zest.
  4. Fold in the blueberries. Gently fold in your prepared blueberries into the chia seed mixture. Stir just enough to distribute them without overmixing.
  5. Refrigerate the pudding. Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. About 15-20 minutes into chilling, give it another quick stir to ensure no seeds have settled at the bottom.
  6. Serve. Once your Lemon Blueberry Chia Pudding is perfectly set and wonderfully thick, give it a gentle stir before serving. Scoop it into individual glasses or bowls, then top it with some fresh, whole blueberries, a sprinkle of additional lemon zest, or a few thin lemon slices for presentation.

Notes

  • For a more intense blueberry flavor, mash part of the blueberries before mixing.
  • Optional ingredients like honey and vanilla extract can be added for extra flavor.
  • Stir the pudding about 15-20 minutes into chilling to prevent chia seeds from settling.
