Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk (regular dairy or any kind you prefer)
- 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: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl or a glass jar. Using a glass jar allows for easy shaking and combining of the pudding ingredients evenly.
- Let Sit Briefly: Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes, then stir or shake again to prevent chia seeds from settling at the bottom, ensuring an even texture throughout.
- Refrigerate: Place the pudding into the refrigerator and chill overnight or for at least 3-4 hours. This resting period allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell, creating a tapioca-like pudding texture.
- Serve: Remove the pudding from the refrigerator, stir well to combine any settled chia seeds, then add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, nut butter, granola, or nuts. Enjoy this delicious and nutritious treat!
