Description
A delicious and healthy treat made with almond milk, chia seeds, and optional blueberry sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond milk or coconut or oat milk
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, agave, maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Blueberry Sauce (optional):
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, vanilla extract, sweetener, and chia seeds. Mix until completely combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then stir the mixture again to break up any chia clumps that may have formed.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge. Allow the pudding to set for at least 3 hours or ideally overnight. Start on the optional blueberry sauce while the pudding sets in the fridge.
- Remove the pudding from the fridge and stir before serving. To create the parfaits, split the pudding into 2 jars or bowls and top it with the blueberry sauce. You can also garnish with fresh fruit or granola too. Enjoy!
- For the blueberry sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and lemon juice over medium/high heat. Bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Mash the blueberries and add the cornstarch. Allow to simmer until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool before spooning over the chia puddings.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider using coconut milk.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by varying the amount of sweetener.
- For additional toppings, consider using nuts or seeds.
