Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any non-dairy milk
1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen/thawed
2 tablespoon honey
½ vanilla extract
4 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

Add the milk, blueberries, honey and vanilla to a blender and blend until smooth.
Divide the blueberry milk between two half-pint (1 cup) jars.
Stir 2 tablespoons of chia seeds into each jar.
Cover the jars with lids and refrigerate. Allow the pudding to set for at least two hours. (Overnight is best).
Top with more blueberries and granola, (or any of your favorite toppings) and enjoy!

Notes

Stir. After the chia pudding has been in the fridge for 10 or 15 minutes, give it another good stir to break up any clumps of seeds. Stir it again before adding toppings and serving.

Berries. You can, of course, use any other berries for this chia pudding recipe. Strawberries or blackberries can replace the blueberries.

Flavor additions. Some flavor boosters you can add: lemon juice or zest, cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg. You can even use herbs like mint, basil, rosemary, thyme, or lavender.

Texture. Chia pudding has a texture similar to tapioca pudding. If you prefer a smoother pudding, add the chia seeds to the blender with the other ingredients.

Consistency. Chia seeds keep in the pantry for a long time if properly stored. However, they can lose their absorbency with time. If your chia pudding seems runny after overnight refrigeration, your chia seeds may be old. Fresh chia seed works best for pudding.

Toppings. Top blueberry chia pudding with Greek yogurt or nut butter to amp up the protein. Other toppings can be more berries, granola, nuts, like slivered almonds, or seeds like pumpkin seeds.

Storage. Store the chia pudding in the fridge in glass jars with lids (like mason jars), or in any airtight containers for up to 5 days.
