Blueberry Chia Pudding
Looking for a breakfast or snack that’s as delicious as it is healthy? This blueberry chia pudding is the perfect way to highlight the produce from your local farmer’s market! This parfait layers fresh local blueberries with creamy yogurt and chia pudding for a satisfying breakfast you’ll want on repeat.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (We love Homestead Creamery)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup yogurt (We love Blue Ridge Dairy)
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Chia Pudding: In a bowl, mix the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent any clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until it thickens into a pudding consistency.
- Prepare Blueberry-Yogurt Mix: Blend half of the blueberries into the yogurt. Blend until it has reached your desired consistency.
- Assemble the Puddings: Start with a layer of the blueberry-yogurt mixture at the bottom of each cup, followed by a layer of chia pudding. Finish with a topping of fresh blueberries.
