- Naturally sweet and fruity: Blueberries give this chia pudding that beautiful purple colour and delicious flavour. If you have extra blueberries use them to make a Healthy Blueberry Crisp!
- Nutrient-dense: Chia seeds are filled with health benefits. They’re rich in fibre, antioxidants and protein.
- Make-ahead friendly: Perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.
Key Ingredients
- Blueberries: fresh or frozen both work, but fresh (if in season) will be better for flavour. If you can get your hands on them, wild blueberries are the absolute best in this recipe and are also great in these Cottage Cheese Blueberry Muffins.
- Chia seeds: Chia Pudding is one of my favourite ways to use chia seeds. white chia seeds or black chia seeds both work. These are exactly the same except for the colour.
- Milk: Any type milk like almond, oat, or coconut milk works. Full-fat coconut milk will give the chia pudding a much creamier texture and richer taste, so I recommend using at least half coconut milk.
How To Make Blueberry Chia Pudding
Step 1: Add the milk, vanilla, maple syrup and chia seeds to a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Cook the blueberries in a small saucepan on the stove for 5-10 minutes on medium heat, then add them to the chia pudding.
Step 3: Mix to combine. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Step 4: Serve alone or with your favourite toppings!
Recipe Variations
- High-protein: Blend in ¼ cup of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or protein powder for an extra boost of protein.
- Mixed berry: Swap half the blueberries with strawberries or raspberries for a mixed berry twist. You’ll also love this Strawberry Chia Pudding and Raspberry Chia Pudding Recipe.
How To Store
Store the chia pudding in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir before serving, especially if it’s been sitting for a while.
Jess’s Tips
- Cook the blueberries first: Simmering the blueberries before mixing will intensify their flavour make the pudding taste even better.
- Use fresh or frozen berries: Both work well, just cook them down until soft and juicy before adding to the chia mixture.
- Stir after 10 minutes: Give the pudding a stir after it starts to set to prevent clumping and ensure even texture.
- Chill until thick: Let the pudding chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Sweeten to taste: If your blueberries are tart, add a touch more maple syrup before serving.
- Top it off: Serve with extra berries, yogurt, peanut butter granola or any toppings you love.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Frozen blueberries are fine. Just keep in mind sometimes they may not be as flavourful as fresh blueberries.
Make sure you’re using enough chia seeds and that you’ve stirred them well. If it’s still too runny, let it sit longer or add another tablespoon of chia seeds.
