With Summer in full swing, I'm craving all those fresh, fruity flavors. In the Summer, we always have an abundance of blueberries. We love going blueberry picking and picking way more blueberries than we need! So I make ALL the blueberry recipes! Blueberry smoothie without yogurt, strawberry blueberry smoothies, blueberry milkshake, and blueberry raspberry smoothies are on repeat at my house to use all those berries!

As soon as the blueberries are in my kitchen, I’m all about incorporating them into my treats. I’ve been making this blueberry chia seed pudding on repeat, and it’s quickly become a favorite!

Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding

This chia seed pudding has it all! Chia seeds to keep you full, fresh blueberries for a burst of flavor, a touch of vanilla for sweetness, and a drizzle of maple syrup to tie it all together. I love whipping up a big batch on the weekends to enjoy throughout the week for a quick breakfast, topped with extra blueberries and a sprinkle of granola. It doesn't get better than that!

If you haven't tried chia seed puddings, this is your chance! They save so much time in the morning and keep you full until lunch.

Ingredients to Gather

• Blueberries. Fresh or frozen blueberries are great in this recipe. If you are using frozen blueberries, you don't have to thaw the berries first.
• Milk. Whatever milk you have on hand is great in this recipe.
• Chia seeds. You can find chia seeds in the bakery aisle of the grocery store.
• Flavorings. We'll be using vanilla extract, cinnamon, and maple syrup. The cinnamon makes this recipe taste like a blueberry pie!

Substitutions and Variations

• Layer it! Try layering the pudding with Greek yogurt or a blueberry puree. This adds a nice contrast in texture and flavor.
• Have fun with toppings! When you are ready to serve, add toppings like fresh blueberries, granola, nuts, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of maple syrup for added texture and flavor.
• Make it vegan! This is a really easy recipe to make vegan. Simply use your favorite nondairy milk and you'll have a delicious vegan breakfast or snack.
• Add some protein! For an even more filling pudding, add some Greek yogurt or a scoop of your favorite protein powder when you are mixing the ingredients together.
• Change the berry! Don't have blueberries, don't fret! You can use your favorite berry in this recipe.

How To Make Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding

Add all the ingredients to a liquid measuring cup or a large mixing bowl. Give the mixture a good mix. Pour the ingredients into two mason jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Tips and Tricks

• A good starting ratio is 3 tablespoons of chia seeds to 1 cup of liquid. If you prefer a chia seed pudding that is a little thicker, add a few more chia seeds. If you prefer a thinner chia seed pudding, add a little more milk.
• It's important to mix the chia seeds before you pour the mixture into containers. This will prevent the seeds from clumping and allow them to be evenly spread out throughout the pudding.
• This makes two chia seed puddings, but you can easily double or triple this recipe.

Make Ahead Tips

These blueberry chia seed puddings can be made up to 5 days in advance. You can actually freeze them too! Make the recipe and pour them into freezer safe containers and freeze them for up to 3 months. When you are ready to enjoy the puddings, let them defrost in the refrigerator and then top with your favorite toppings.
