Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and wholesome chia seed pudding made with mixed berries and unsweetened almond milk, perfect for a no-added-sugar breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 cup (150 grams) mixed berries (fresh or frozen; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh berries and mint leaves for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the chia seeds and almond milk in a medium bowl or mason jar. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute to break up any clumps and ensure even distribution.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and lemon zest if using.
  3. Prepare the berries: blend until pureed for smooth pudding or mash/chop for chunkier texture. Let frozen berries thaw slightly before use.
  4. Fold the berries into the chia milk mixture until fully combined.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens to a creamy, gelled texture.
  6. Stir the pudding before serving to redistribute any settled seeds. Add a splash of almond milk if too thick.
  7. Serve topped with fresh berries and mint leaves, and optionally sprinkle extra chia seeds.

Notes

Whisk chia seeds thoroughly at the start to prevent clumps. Chilling overnight yields the best creamy texture. Use plant-based milk of choice for different creaminess levels. Frozen berries should be thawed slightly. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; stir before eating. Freezing is not recommended.
