Description

A delicious and nutritious Berry Chia Pudding made with wild blueberries, chia seeds, honey, vanilla almond milk, and vanilla protein powder. This no-cook recipe is easy to prepare and perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack, offering a creamy, naturally sweet pudding that sets overnight in the fridge.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 1/2 cup wild blueberries (70g)

Seeds and Sweeteners

  • 6 Tbsp. chia seeds (60g)
  • 1 Tbsp. honey (21g)

Liquid and Protein

  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (300ml)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (PEScience Gourmet Vanilla) (31g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Blueberries: Add the wild blueberries to a small bowl and microwave for one minute. Then, using a fork or the back of a spoon, mash the blueberries up until they are broken down and juicy. Transfer the mashed blueberries to a mixing bowl.
  2. Add Chia Seeds and Honey: Sprinkle the chia seeds over the mashed blueberries and drizzle the honey on top. Stir gently to begin incorporating the ingredients.
  3. Combine Almond Milk and Protein Powder: In a separate bowl or cup, pour the unsweetened vanilla almond milk and add the vanilla protein powder. Mix thoroughly until the protein powder is fully dissolved and no lumps remain. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the chia seed and blueberry mixture, stirring well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This resting time allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding to a creamy consistency.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Serve the pudding chilled, topped with additional defrosted or frozen wild blueberries or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can use frozen wild blueberries directly without thawing; they will add a nice texture and slight chill to the pudding.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey based on your preference.
  • For a vegan option, substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • The protein powder adds extra protein, but you can omit it if desired for a lighter version.
  • Ensure to mix well before refrigerating to avoid clumps of chia seeds or protein powder.
