Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Blueberry Layer
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
Optional Toppings
  • Granola
  • Yogurt

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Spoon
  • Jar or Container
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla in a bowl until fully combined. Let mixture sit briefly, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight until mixture thickens into a pudding-like texture.
  3. Meanwhile, mash blueberries with lemon juice until slightly chunky and juicy. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. Layer pudding and blueberry mixture in jars. Add toppings if desired. Serve chilled for best texture and flavor.

Notes

For a thicker texture, add more chia seeds; for a softer consistency, increase liquid slightly. Stir well early to avoid clumps. Chill thoroughly for best results. Use sturdy fruit layers for clean assembly. Customize flavors with spices or different fruits. Store covered up to four days in the refrigerator.
