Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk work well)
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or other sweetener, to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Optional toppings: fresh blueberries, granola, nuts, seeds

Instructions:

1. In a jar or container, combine the chia seeds and plant-based milk.
2. Add the blueberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using).
3. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
4. Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.

6. Top with your favorite toppings, such as fresh blueberries, granola, nuts, or seeds.
7. Enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

• Sweetness: Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your desired sweetness level. You can also use other sweeteners like agave nectar or stevia.
• Flavor: Experiment with different fruit combinations, such as raspberries, strawberries, or bananas.
• Texture: If you prefer a smoother pudding, blend the chia pudding after it has thickened.
• Storage: Chia pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
