Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 0.6 cup chia seeds
- 1.5 cups milk (preferably Fairlife for extra protein and creamy texture)
- 1.5 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1.5 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup blueberries (Wyman’s recommended for consistent sweetness)
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Rest and Absorb: Cover the mixture and refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours to allow chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Add Toppings: Before serving, stir the pudding to ensure even texture. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon honey to enhance sweetness.
- Serve: Spoon the pudding into serving cups or bowls and top with the honey-glazed blueberries. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the amount of honey to your preferred sweetness level.
- Allowing the pudding to soak longer enhances the texture and flavor.
- For added texture, consider topping with nuts or granola before serving.
