๐Ÿซ Ingredients

  • Chia seeds: The base of this recipe, chia seeds are small seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant that form a gel-like consistency when mixed with liquids
  • Plant-based milk: The liquid that mixes with the seeds to make the pudding, we’re using plant-based creamy oat milk (but any milk will do)
  • Blueberries: The fruit star of this recipe, blueberries add a touch of tart and sweet
  • Nuts or seeds: For a crunch factor we’re adding your choice of nuts or seeds (I used pumpkin seeds in this recipe)
  • Flavorings: A touch of vanilla extract and maple syrup add a slightly warm and sweet flavor to the pudding
  • Recommended tools: small mixing bowls, small glasses or jars for single-servings of pudding
