  • Total Time: 2 hours 25 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chia Pudding

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey (or 1/3 cup for a sweeter option; maple syrup or agave syrup works too)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup milk of choice

Blueberry Compote

  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water (to make cornstarch slurry)

To Decorate

  • Fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chia pudding: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chia seeds, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup lemon juice, zest of 1 lemon, and 1/4 cup honey. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Incorporate the milk: Add 1 cup milk of choice to the bowl and whisk everything together until smooth and uniform. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb liquid and create a pudding-like texture.
  3. Cook the blueberry compote: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups blueberries, 2 tablespoons honey, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently until the blueberries break down and the mixture becomes syrupy.
  4. Thicken the compote: In a separate small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the blueberry mixture in the saucepan and stir well. Continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes until the compote thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
  5. Assemble the pudding: In jars or serving glasses, spoon alternating layers of the chia pudding and blueberry compote. Add fresh blueberries as a decorative and flavorful garnish. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a sweeter pudding, increase the honey in the chia pudding to 1/3 cup or substitute with maple syrup or agave syrup.
  • Milk options can be dairy or plant-based (almond, soy, oat milk) depending on preference and dietary needs.
  • Allowing the pudding to set overnight results in the best texture.
  • The blueberry compote can be served warm or chilled depending on preference.
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used interchangeably in the compote.
  • For a thicker pudding, you can add a little more chia seeds but adjust liquid accordingly.
