Prep: 5 min | Chill: 2+ hours

Difficulty:

Easy

Ingredients

• ¼ cup chia seeds
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred dairy-free milk)
• ¼ cup vanilla vegan protein powder (ensure it’s low-carb & dairy-free)
• 1 tbsp collagen powder (optional)
• ½ cup fresh blueberries
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of cinnamon
• Topping ideas: fresh blueberries, coconut yoghurt, crushed nuts

Directions

1. Step 1: Blend the Blueberry Base
   1️⃣ In a blender, combine almond milk, vanilla protein powder, collagen powder, blueberries, and vanilla extract.
   2️⃣ Blend until smooth and well combined.
2. Step 2: Mix with Chia Seeds
   3️⃣ Pour the blended blueberry mixture into a bowl.
   4️⃣ Stir in the chia seeds, whisking well to distribute evenly.
   5️⃣ Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
3. Step 3: Refrigerate & Set
   6️⃣ Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the chia seeds to expand and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
4. Step 4: Serve & Garnish
   7️⃣ Give the pudding a good stir before serving.
   8️⃣ Divide into bowls or jars and top with extra blueberries, shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

🌟 Flavour Enhancements & Variations

💡 For an ultra-creamy texture: Blend the mixture again after chilling for a mousse-like consistency.
💡 For extra richness: Stir in a spoonful of almond butter or coconut yogurt before serving.
💡 For added crunch: Top with cacao nibs, granola, or hemp seeds.
💡 For a dessert-like twist: Add a drizzle of sugar-free dark chocolate on top.
