Ingredients

Makes 2 servings

  • 130 blueberries
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 225 vanilla extract
  • 1 almond butter
  • 2 maple syrup
  • 1 honey
  • 2 honey
  • 1 blueberries

Method

  1. Add the blueberries and lemon juice to a pan and heat over a medium/high heat for approximately 5 minutes (until you reach a thick compote consistency) then place the compote in a jar and refrigerate.

  2. Add all the pudding ingredients (except for the chia seeds) to a blender and blitz until smooth and fully combined, then add to a bowl and then add the chia seeds. Mix until well combined. Place in the fridge overnight to thicken.

  3. Once everything is ready - layer the chia mixture on top of the jam and serve with honey and fresh blueberries to top.

Cook's notes

  • Whisk the chia seeds and milk thoroughly to prevent clumps from forming.
  • Let the pudding sit for at least 10 minutes, then give it another stir before refrigerating to ensure an even consistency.
  • For a smoother texture, you can blend the chia seeds with the milk before adding the jam.

Easy swaps

  • Swap almond butter for peanut butter or cashew butter if preferred.
  • Use any plant-based milk such as oat, soy, or coconut milk.
  • Replace the strawberry jelly with fresh mashed berries or homemade chia jam to lower the sugar content.

Frequently asked

Is chia pudding good for weight loss?

Yes, chia seeds are high in fiber and protein, which helps keep you feeling full longer, making this a great option for healthy snacking.

Can I make this recipe overnight?

Absolutely! This recipe is designed to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours, making it the perfect 'overnight' breakfast.

Do I need to grind the chia seeds?

No, you can use whole chia seeds. They will naturally swell and create a gel-like texture once soaked in liquid.
