Raspberry and Blueberry Chia Pudding
Frozen fruit is blended and omega-3 rich chia seeds are soaked in the fruit overnight. It's as simple as that! The recipe takes about 5 minutes to make (they do need time to soak), and there are a lot of variations that you can try.
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
Blueberry Chia Pudding
- 3/4 cup frozen blueberries fresh is also fine
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
Raspberry Chia Pudding
- 3/4 cup frozen raspberries fresh is also fine
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
Optional
- granola
- fresh fruit
Instructions
- Place the frozen fruit in a blender with the milk and vanilla extract (if you choose to use it with the blueberries. It adds some extra flavor). Blend on high for at least 60 seconds until the fruit is pureed.
- Pour it into a bowl and mix it with 1/4 cup chia seeds. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 8 hours (overnight works great), and up to three days. If you are making another fruit, repeat the process with a rinsed out blender.
- Divide the chia pudding between two mason jars, layering each serving with the pudding, yogurt and optional granola and/or berries. The pudding is good in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- *Note - I repeated the process with raspberries and blueberries, and the recipe made enough for two small mason jars. If you would like to prepare more, double the recipe for each fruit you choose to make.
