Ingredients
- 60g chia seeds
- 350ml unsweetened almond milk
- 150g blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 30g natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a jar or bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, salt, and optional cinnamon until well combined.
- Chill and Thicken: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until it becomes thick and gelatinous.
- Make the Blueberry Compote: While the pudding chills, prepare the compote. Add blueberries and lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring and gently mashing the berries until they break down into a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- Assemble the Layers: Once the pudding is set and the compote is cool, it's time to assemble your jars or glasses. Create beautiful, alternating layers of the chia pudding and the blueberry compote.
- Add the Finishing Touch: Top your creation with a dollop of peanut butter. For a lovely drizzle effect, you can warm the peanut butter in the microwave for a few seconds. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Tips & Substitutions
- Meal-Prep Masterpiece: This recipe is perfect for meal prep. Assemble several jars at once and store them in the fridge for a grab-and-go breakfast for up to 3-4 days.
- Sweetness Control: If you prefer a sweeter pudding, feel free to whisk in a teaspoon of maple syrup, honey, or your favorite liquid sweetener along with the almond milk.
- Nut Butter Variations: Don't have peanut butter? This recipe works wonderfully with almond butter, cashew butter, or even a seed butter like tahini for a unique twist.
