Chia pudding is extremely easy to make and extremely versatile. You can add in your favorite combination of fruit, nuts, sweetener, and anything else that your heart desires! Chia seeds have very little flavor, so you don’t have to worry about them competing with other flavors. They also soften in the presence of any liquid and become a less detectable texture.
Chia seeds can be used in a variety of ways. They can be added to cereals, beverages, muffins, breads, and other baked goods to boost their nutritional value, but my favorite way to enjoy them is in a chia pudding recipe. And speaking of nutritional value…
Nutrition Benefits of Chia Seeds
- Chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
- Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, which can help to improve heart health, reduce cholesterol levels and promote overall health.
- Chia seeds are also an excellent source of antioxidants.
In this chia pudding recipe, I decided to use a combination of chia seeds, blueberries, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. You can choose to use fresh or frozen fruit, but I prefer to use frozen fruit because I always have it on hand and when the frozen fruit thaws, the juice adds the perfect amount of sweetness and color to the pudding.

This super creamy and perfectly sweet treat is the perfect breakfast or dessert. It’s packed with lots of bold, blueberry flavors and can be prepped days in advance. Enjoy!
