A nutritious and delicious breakfast bowl featuring creamy chia pudding topped with a homemade blueberry compote.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (for compote)
  • Squeeze of lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Extra fresh blueberries for topping
  • Granola (optional)
  • Sliced almonds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a jar or bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir well until everything is mixed.
  2. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping. Allow it to sit for another 10 minutes, then give it another stir.
  3. Cover the jar and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. The chia pudding will thicken into a delightful pudding-like consistency.
  4. In a small pot, combine blueberries, water, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and lemon juice. Heat over medium for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the blueberries burst into a beautiful jammy mix.
  5. Remove from heat and let the blueberry compote cool to room temperature.
  6. Check the consistency of your chia pudding. If it’s too thick, stir in a splash more milk.
  7. Spoon the blueberry compote over the chia pudding and add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
  8. Garnish with extra fresh blueberries, granola, and sliced almonds if desired. Serve immediately!

Notes

For a smoother texture, blend the almond milk with the chia seeds instead of stirring them in.
