Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk (regular dairy milk or any preferred type)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup wild frozen blueberries
- 1/4 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
Optional Toppings
- Fresh berries
- Nut butter
- Granola
- Nuts
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Mix the milk, plain Greek yogurt, chia seeds, frozen blueberries, and maple syrup or honey together in a bowl or a glass jar. Shaking in a glass jar is a convenient method to get everything well combined.
- Let Rest Briefly: Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes before stirring or shaking again to prevent the chia seeds from settling at the bottom.
- Refrigerate: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill overnight or for at least 3-4 hours. This resting time lets the chia seeds absorb the liquid, thickening the mixture to a tapioca-like pudding texture.
- Final Stir and Serve: Remove from the refrigerator, give it a thorough stir, add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, nut butter, granola, or nuts, and enjoy your healthy pudding!
