Ingredients Needed
You only need 5 simple ingredients to whip up this blueberry chia pudding recipe. Here’s what you need:
unsweetened almond milk – provides a creamy base without added sugars. I like to use unsweetened almond milk, but feel free to use another plant-based milk like oat milk or coconut milk for a creamier texture! You can also use dairy milk if that’s what you prefer. blueberries – the star of the show! I prefer to use frozen blueberries to achieve that vibrant purple color. That said, you can definitely use fresh blueberries, your chia pudding just won’t be as purple in color. maple syrup – my favorite sweetener for chia pudding. Honey is a good substitute. If you need a sugar-free option, just skip the sweetener all together or use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit. vanilla extract – a nice flavor enhancer! chia seeds – can’t have chia pudding without the chia seeds! It’s what thickens the pudding while providing fiber, omega-3s, and protein. Both black and white chia seeds work for this recipe.
How to Make Blueberry Chia Pudding
This recipe couldn’t be any easier to make. Just blend, mix and let set up in the fridge!

Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps. Refrigerate to set for at least 30 minutes, up to 12 hours. Serve topped with fresh blueberries or toppings of choice.
