Ingredients
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup milk
1/2 cup blueberries
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon flax seeds
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, stir together the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
2. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thickened.
4. Blend the blueberries with the lemon juice until mostly smooth.
5. Stir the Greek yogurt into the blueberry mixture for a creamier fruit layer.
6. Spoon the chia pudding into a jar or glass, add the blueberry layer, and repeat if you want more layers.
7. Top with fresh blueberries and flax seeds, then serve chilled.
Notes
Use a second stir after the first few minutes so the chia seeds do not settle into clumps.
Let the pudding chill overnight for the thickest and creamiest texture.
Add a splash of milk before serving if the pudding becomes too thick in the fridge.
