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 maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again. After another 10 minutes, mix one more time to prevent clumping.
  3. Cover the jar and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
  4. In a small pot, mix blueberries, water, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and lemon juice. Heat over medium for about 5-7 minutes, until the berries burst and the mixture thickens.
  5. Remove the compote from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  6. Once the chia pudding is ready, add a splash more almond milk if it’s too thick and stir well.
  7. Spoon the blueberry compote over the chia pudding.
  8. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top, finishing with fresh blueberries, granola, and sliced almonds if desired.
  9. Serve immediately.
