Chia pudding is one of my favourite on-the-go snacks, and when in season, wild blueberries are the best with this Overnight Blueberry Chia Pudding—it just kicks it up a notch higher.
This also makes a nice dessert or can be turned into a balanced breakfast by adding a clean protein powder of your choice.
The first two ingredients are what create the pudding texture. After mixing them well and letting it rest for 10 minutes or so, your pudding base is now ready for you to create your favourite flavours.
It’s really that easy!!

Notes
Want more protein?
Add 1/2 serving of clean protein powder.
Minimum time for Chia pudding to set is 1-2 hours for that nice pudding gel-like consistency, less if using full fat milk like coconut and in some Kefir (like the one used in this recipe). But chia seeds start to absorb liquid pretty quick, usually with in 15-20 minutes so that's why it's good to mix a few times in the beginning to break up any clumps.
Layer it up! Add the chia seeds and milk in a small glass bowl first to set. Then mix in the sweetener and other flavours well. In a small mason jar begin adding your layers starting with fruit on the bottom, maybe a little Greek yogurt, few nuts or seeds etc...between layers of the chia pudding and set over night. The options are endless.
Prep Ahead Tip!
Triple this recipe and put into 3 small mason jars, especially if you know you have a busy week. Or you just love this simple breaky/snack. Keeps for 3 days in the fridge.
You can easily vary the recipe too for each mason jar by adding cacao powder, few nuts on top, different fruit or coconut shavings etc.. your creativity is the limit!
