Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups almond milk or any milk of choice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Make Chia Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until it thickens.
- Prepare Blueberry Compote: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries break down and create a sauce, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Assemble Cups: In serving cups or jars, layer chia pudding, blueberry compote, and a swirl of peanut butter. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy as a nutritious breakfast or snack!
