This blackberry chia pudding recipe requires just 4 ingredients and only 5 minutes of prep time. It is a delicious summertime recipe that can be made year round with frozen berries. Vegan, refined sugar-free, oil-free, grain-free, gluten-free, whole food plant-based.
If using frozen blackberries, thaw them by sticking them in the fridge overnight or by microwaving them. Blend the milk, blackberries, maple syrup, and salt in a blender until well combined.
Place the chia seeds in a 2-cup jar or other container, then pour about ¼ of the blackberry mixture on top and stir thoroughly, making sure all the seeds get stirred in. Add the remaining blackberry mixture and stir well to combine. You can also do this in a bowl and then transfer it to a storage container.
Put a lid on the jar and store the pudding in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Eat as is, blend until smooth, or add toppings as suggested. Store in the fridge for up to five days.
Smooth pudding option: After letting the chia pudding chill, place it all in a blender and blend until smooth.
