  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Liquid Base

  • 1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 3/4 cup Dairy-Free Yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons Maple Syrup

Seeds

  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds

Berries

  • 1/4 cup Raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup Strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixed berry smoothie: In a high-speed blender, combine the fresh or frozen raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, dairy-free yogurt, and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth, resembling a smoothie consistency.
  2. Combine chia seeds with berry mixture: Pour the blended mixed berry milk into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the chia seeds evenly over the top of the liquid.
  3. Mix chia seeds thoroughly: Use a fork to stir the chia seeds into the berry milk, ensuring they are well incorporated and begin to hydrate evenly.
  4. Allow seeds to absorb liquid at room temperature: Leave the mixture at room temperature, leaving the fork in the bowl for easy stirring. Every 5 minutes, stir the pudding again for 15 to 20 minutes to evenly distribute the chia seeds and prevent them from settling at the bottom.
  5. Chill to set the pudding: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours or overnight. This chilling process allows the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
  6. Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding once more to ensure even texture. Garnish with additional coconut yogurt and fresh mixed berries if desired. Enjoy chilled for a refreshing and healthy treat.

Notes

  • Use high-speed blender for smooth texture, but a regular blender can also work.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup for different sweetness options.
  • Dairy-free yogurt options include coconut, almond, or soy-based yogurts.
  • Fresh or frozen berries can be used depending on season and availability.
  • Stirring chia seeds periodically while they begin to absorb prevents clumping and ensures a uniform texture.
  • This recipe is vegan and gluten-free.
