Creamy Berry Power Chia Seed Pudding – Healthy & Easy Breakfast


Why You'll Love This Recipe:

  • Creamy and Rich: The blend of chia seeds and almond milk, plus a hint of collagen, creates a luxurious, pudding-like consistency.

  • Protein-Packed: The collagen adds a powerful protein boost without changing the flavor.

  • Healthy & Nutritious: This recipe is loaded with fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants from the blueberries.

  • "Guilt-Free": No refined sugar and completely dairy-free (if you use a dairy-free topping).

  • Easy to Make: Requires only a few minutes of prep and sets overnight in the fridge.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 1 scoop (approx. 10g) unflavored collagen peptides

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

  • Toppings (optional but recommended!): additional blueberries, a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of heavy cream, a vanilla bean or cinnamon stick, chopped nuts, granola, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.

Instructions:

  1. Combine: In a glass, jar, or bowl, mix together the chia seeds, almond milk, collagen peptides, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using). Stir well with a whisk or fork for a minute or two to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and no clumps of collagen remain.

  2. Add Fruit: Gently fold in the blueberries.

  3. Chill: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to plump up and the pudding to set completely.

  4. Serve: When you're ready to eat, give the pudding a quick stir. It should be thick and creamy.

  5. Garnish: Top your chia pudding with your favorite toppings, as seen in the inspiring image below! A vanilla bean stick makes for a beautiful presentation.

Enjoy your simple, healthy, and power-packed breakfast!
