Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding

There's nothing to hate about this easy chia blueberry pudding recipe. Made with only 5 simple ingredients and filled with all the blueberry goodness, you definitely can't go wrong. I'm always a fan of anything blueberry. Blueberry muffins, blueberry smoothies and even blueberry cocktails and now blueberry chia puddings.

The best thing about this chia breakfast pudding is the fact that you can make it the night before. Simply pop all the ingredients you need into a jar, give it a good shake and leave it in the fridge overnight. Nothing like having breakfast ready for you when you wake up.

Ingredients you'll need

• Blueberries - Fresh or frozen blueberries work. I always have a bag of frozen blueberries in the freezer to use whenever that craving strikes.
• Chia seeds - These protein-packed little guys are going to be your new favorite.
• Vanilla extract - For a dash of extra flavor add good quality vanilla extract to your chia seed pudding.
• Sweetener - Dependent on your dietary requirements, you could use different options. Maple syrup and xylitol are my top favorites for vegan options.
• Almond milk - Substitute almond milk for coconut milk or oat milk. Both options are delicious.
