Ingredients
Scale
Gather the following ingredients to make your Blueberry & Lemon Chia Jars:
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional for extra sweetness)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Chia Pudding:
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, mix together the chia seeds, almond milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract (if using), and maple syrup or honey (if using).
- Stir Well: Stir the mixture well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
- Let it Set: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
Assemble the Jars:
- Layer the Pudding and Blueberries: Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir. Start layering the pudding into small jars or glasses. Add a spoonful of fresh blueberries on top of each layer of pudding.
- Add More Layers: Repeat this process to create as many layers as desired, finishing with a layer of blueberries on top.
- Garnish (Optional): Add a bit of extra lemon zest or a few mint leaves for a decorative touch, if desired.
