Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1.5 cups non-dairy yogurt
- 0.5 cup coconut milk (full fat layer on top)
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp agave syrup (or other sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Fresh blueberries
- Mint sprig
Instructions
- Prepare blueberry blend: Add 1 cup of non-dairy yogurt, agave syrup, vanilla extract, and 1 cup of blueberries to a food processor. Pulse on high until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Reserve the remaining 0.5 cup of yogurt for layering.
- Mix chia seeds: Transfer the blueberry yogurt blend to a bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons of chia seeds thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Refrigerate to thicken: Place the chia mixture in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to allow it to thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Prepare yogurt topping: While the chia pudding thickens, add the reserved 0.5 cup non-dairy yogurt along with the fatty layer of the coconut milk to the food processor. Pulse on high until smooth and creamy to create a luscious yogurt topping.
- Assemble the pudding: Divide the blueberry chia pudding evenly between two serving glasses, filling each about three-quarters of the way. Carefully spoon or pour the creamy yogurt-coconut layer on top, creating a beautiful contrast.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over the top, add a few fresh blueberries for extra burst of flavor, and finish with a mint sprig. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh blueberries if available, but frozen blueberries work well too.
- Feel free to substitute agave syrup with maple syrup, honey (if not vegan), or your preferred sweetener.
- If you prefer a thicker pudding, allow chia seeds to soak for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer yogurt layer; shake the can well before scooping out the fatty layer.
- This pudding can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
