Description

This Blueberry Lemon Chia Seed Pudding is a refreshing and nutritious breakfast or snack option featuring creamy chia pudding infused with bright lemon flavors and layered with a vibrant homemade blueberry jam. Made with plant-based milk and naturally sweetened with honey or agave, this easy-to-make pudding is perfect for anyone looking for a healthy, make-ahead treat packed with antioxidants, fiber, and protein.


Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding

  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 1 ½ cups milk (almond, cashew, or soy)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar

Blueberry Jam

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar


Instructions

  1. Make chia pudding: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir well to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Prevent clumping: After about 4-5 minutes, stir the chia seed mixture again to prevent the seeds from clumping together and ensure an even texture.
  3. Prepare blueberry jam: While the chia seeds soak, place the blueberries and 1 tablespoon of honey in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds, or until the berries start to burst and release their juices.
  4. Smash blueberries: Using a spoon, mash the heated blueberries until they form a thick, jam-like consistency.
  5. Layer puddings: Evenly distribute the chia pudding mixture and the blueberry jam into four 6-ounce jars or containers, layering as desired.
  6. Chill and serve: Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow the pudding to thicken. The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with agave nectar for a vegan option.
  • Feel free to use any plant-based milk according to your preference.
  • For added texture, top with fresh blueberries, nuts, or granola before serving.
  • This pudding is perfect for meal prepping and can be enjoyed as a healthy breakfast or snack.
  • Stir the chia mixture occasionally during the soaking time for best consistency.
