Description

A refreshing and nutritious Blueberry Lemon Chia Seed Pudding made with chia seeds soaked in almond milk, flavored with fresh lemon juice and zest, sweetened with honey, and layered with a simple homemade blueberry jam. Perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert that’s vegan-friendly and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding

  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 1 ½ cups milk (almond, cashew, or soy)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar

Blueberry Jam

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar

Instructions

  1. Make chia pudding: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir thoroughly with a spoon to mix all ingredients evenly.
  2. Let chia seeds rest: Allow the mixture to sit for 4-5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together and ensure an even texture.
  3. Make blueberry jam: While the chia seeds are soaking, place the blueberries and 1 tablespoon of honey into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds until the blueberries begin to burst and release their juices.
  4. Smash jam: Using a spoon, mash the microwaved blueberries until they reach a thick, jam-like consistency suitable for layering.
  5. Layer filling in jars: Divide the blueberry jam and chia seed pudding equally among four 6-ounce jars or containers, alternating layers as desired.
  6. Chill then serve: Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the pudding to set and flavors to meld. Serve chilled. The pudding can be stored for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with agave nectar for a vegan option.
  • Milk options such as almond, cashew, or soy milk work well; choose your preferred milk.
  • Stirring the chia mixture after initial rest prevents clumps and ensures a creamy texture.
  • If you prefer a smoother blueberry jam, you can blend the mixture briefly instead of mashing.
  • Store pudding in airtight containers to maintain freshness up to 5 days in the fridge.
  • To enhance flavor, add a pinch of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the chia mixture if desired.
