This Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding couldn’t be easier! Made with only 5 plant-based and good-for-you ingredients, it brings major flavor, but almost no time in the kitchen. Perfect for Meal Prep!

Wouldn’t it be nice to have the time to prepare delicious and nutritious meals for ourselves three times a day? Let’s be real, though – that is a luxury most of us don’t have. While it’s important to start out our days with a good meal to fuel our minds and bodies, I also think that’s the first thing many of us forget to do when we’re stressed and busy.
That’s where this Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding comes in. With a short prep time of 10 minutes and only 5 plant-based ingredients (including Silk’s Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk!), this nourishing and satisfying breakfast comes together in no time. I love how I can make a big batch at the beginning of the week; all I have to do in the morning is top it with some berries + whatever else lies in my pantry, and breakfast is served.
Workaholic-ism and I have had a pretty strong relationship for as long as I can remember. In retrospect, I could have spent a lot more time in both college and my adult life spending time with friends and loved ones. Instead, I’d typically lock myself in my apartment, working from sunrise to sunset because I (or my work) had to be “perfect.” However, last year I really felt the burnout, and made a promise to myself that I would try to be better, do better, and live more fully.
Now, in an ideal world, we would all be able to enjoy this Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding while sitting at a table — perhaps while reading the paper, watching the news, or sipping on some coffee. While I would like to say that that is totally me, I’m not quite there yet. Oftentimes, my breakfast is scarfed down over morning emails or in between shooting clips for a recipe video.
Long story short, I’m definitely not perfect. But I’m a lot better than I used to be. What’s the fun in having it all figured out, though? I’m going to have to agree with Silk on this one and say that to me, Progress is Perfection.
A Few Final Thoughts:
- Low on Blueberries? Feel free to substitute another berry of your choice!
- The recipe below makes one serving, but feel free to multiply as needed. I like to make a big batch on Sundays, divide it into small jars, and then top as desired for breakfast during the week.
- If you don’t like the texture of Chia Seeds, you can also blend the entire Pudding (after it has set) in the blender – this will make it thick and creamy, with no chunks.

Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding (Easy + 5 Ingredients)
This Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding couldn’t be easier! Made with only 5 plant-based and good-for-you ingredients, it brings major flavor, but almost no time in the kitchen. Perfect for Meal Prep!
- Prep Time: 10 Minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 1 Serving 1x
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
- 1 cup Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk
- Pinch of Cinnamon (Optional, but recommended)
- 2–3 tsp Maple Syrup
- ⅓ cup Chia Seeds
- Additional toppings, as desired
Instructions
- Add the first 4 ingredients to a Blender or Food Processor and combine for 10-15 seconds, until smooth.
- Transfer the “Blueberry Milk” to a sealable jar or container, and add in the Chia Seeds. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, mix the Pudding one more time (to ensure no “clumps” are at the bottom), then cover and place in the fridge for a minimum of 5 hours, preferably overnight.
- Top and serve as desired.
Notes
- If you do not have access to a Vanilla-flavored Plant Milk, add 1 tsp Vanilla Extract with the rest of the liquid ingredients
- Alternatively, you can substitute the Unsweetened Plant Milk for a Sweetened variety, and omit the Maple Syrup
- Blueberries may be substituted for any other berry you have on hand. This recipe will also work with mashed Banana, but I would not recommend harder or more fibrous fruits such as Apples or Oranges

Hi! Do you know the calorie count in this recipe? I don’t see it here. Thanks

Out of personal philosophy we don’t calculate calories or nutritional info but find that Cronometer does a good job.
Just made this recipe as a make ahead breakfast for tomorrow! I thought it made for too much food for one meal so I divided the pudding into two jars. It didn’t turn out as blue as yours but I’m still looking forward to eating it tomorrow!
★★★★
Hope you like it!
Looks yummy ! Can I knw where did you get tht jar from!
It’s a weck tulip jar! They are available in some stores, or you can find them online.
Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
We usually make it the day before and imagine it would be fine for another day longer, but any more than that might get a little weird.
This looks so good! What a delicious breakfast meal prep! Cinnamon and blueberries is so good together!
Thank you!
So beautiful! I can surely get my kids to eat it since they love blueberries..

Glad you liked it, Sandra!
Just made this after having a surplus of blueberries in my apartment… obsessed! I topped with a bit of banana, more blueberries, and some homemade granola- so good!!
Yum!
Hi Caitlin! Can you substitute the maple syrup for agave nectar?
yes!
I made this recipe last night and tried it this morning. It is delicious and so simple to make. Great for this time of year when there is an abundance of fresh blueberries. Thank you!
You’re very welcome, Jennifer!
How many days will it last in the fridge before getting wonky, as I’m thinking the blended fruit would shorten the time?
Hi Holly, it should be fine for 5-6 days!
Silk is my favorite almond milk to use! I pretty much pair it with my cereal, oats, fruit salads, and healthy pastries, plus I bake with it all the time! I absolutely love the color of this chia seed pudding. It would serve as an amazing topping for oatmeal too!
This recipe seems great ! I just have one question. Is the maple syrup required and if so is there a possible substitute for it ? Thank you !
Hi Tanya! The Maple Syrup is not required, but most people like to add some form of sweetener to their chia pudding – you opt to leave it out if you’d like. You can also use any other sweetener of choice or a sweetened plant milk instead x
I haven’t seen a more blueish chia pudding before, wow, it looks so beautiful! 🙂
Thank you, Gemma!
