Ingredients
Servings
Quantities update as you change servings — treat scaled amounts as a guide, not an exact measure.
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 200 ml unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
- ½ cup blueberries
- 1 tbsp chopped walnuts
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Optional: drizzle of raw honey
Method
- 1 In a jar or bowl, whisk the chia seeds into the almond milk until evenly dispersed — a quick whisk now stops them clumping together as they swell.
- 2 Stir in the Greek yogurt, then cover and leave to set for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or overnight in the fridge for a creamier, fully thickened pudding.
- 3 Once thickened to a pudding-like consistency (give it a stir — it should hold its shape on a spoon), top with the blueberries, chopped walnuts, ground flaxseed and cinnamon.
- 4 Stir through gently to distribute the toppings, add a drizzle of raw honey if using, and serve straight away while the chia still has some texture.
