Ready for a tasty and healthy breakfast or snack? Mixed berry chia seed pudding is a delicious option that’s easy to make. This recipe is packed with nutrients and flavor, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking to eat healthier.

You won’t need any special ingredients other than chia seeds, mixed berries, and a few pantry staples. The chia seeds soak up the liquid and create a creamy, pudding-like texture that pairs beautifully with the fresh, juicy berries.

What You Need

For mixed berry chia seed pudding, you should gather a few simple ingredients.

You’ll need chia seeds to make the base of the pudding. These seeds will expand and thicken when you soak them.

You also need plant-based milk. Almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk work well.

Mixed berries are key for flavor and color. Use fresh or frozen berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

To sweeten the pudding, you need a natural sweetener. Maple syrup or agave nectar are good choices.

Finally, a vanilla extract adds extra flavor to your pudding. Make sure it’s pure and not synthetic.

Now, you have everything you need to make your chia seed pudding.

Preparing The Ingredients

First, you need 1 cup of mixed berries. Fresh or frozen both work. Wash them well if you choose fresh berries.

Next, grab 3 tablespoons of chia seeds. These little seeds will turn into tasty, jelly-like bits when mixed with liquid.

You’ll also need your favorite plant-based milk. Almond, soy, or oat milk is great. Measure out 1 cup.

For sweetness, get 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Adjust the amount to your taste.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor. This is optional but totally worth it.

Finally, have a medium-sized mixing bowl ready. This is where you will mix everything together.

Now that you’ve got everything, you’re ready to start making your pudding!

Serving Suggestions

• Serve your mixed berry chia seed pudding in clear glass jars to show off the colorful layers. It’s an eye-catching treat that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack.
• Add fresh berries on top for extra flavor and a nice texture. You can use strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix of all three.
• For a fun twist, sprinkle some granola or chopped nuts over your pudding. This adds a satisfying crunch and makes it more filling.
• Drizzle a bit of maple syrup or agave on top. It gives a touch of sweetness and pairs well with the tartness of the berries.
• If you want to make it fancy, add a mint leaf for garnish. It not only looks good but also adds a refreshing taste.
• Feel like making it a dessert? Scoop the pudding into small bowls and top it with a dollop of coconut whipped cream. It’s a delightful way to end your meal.

Storage Tips

• Keep your chia seed pudding in an airtight container.
• Place it in the fridge to keep it fresh. Chia seed pudding usually stays good for up to 5 days.
• If the pudding thickens too much over time, just give it a good stir. Adding a splash of plant-based milk can help.
• Make sure to store it away from strong-smelling foods. You don’t want it to pick up any unwanted flavors.
• It’s best to store the pudding before adding any toppings. Fresh berries or nuts can be added right before eating to keep them crunchy and tasty.
