5-Ingredient Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding: Your New Breakfast Hero

Skip the morning rush with this incredibly easy Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding. By combining just five simple ingredients the night before, you wake up to a creamy, delicious, and high-protein breakfast that’s ready to grab and go. This healthy meal prep staple is packed with fiber from chia seeds, antioxidants from blueberries, and a boost of protein to keep you full and satisfied all morning. It’s the ultimate no-cook breakfast for busy days.

Why This Pudding Is a Meal Prep Game-Changer

This recipe stands out because it solves the common healthy breakfast dilemma: it requires minimal effort for maximum nutrition. The magic of chia seeds is that they naturally thicken any liquid into a pudding-like texture overnight, requiring no cooking at all. Adding vanilla protein powder not only boosts the protein content but also enhances the flavor and creaminess, making it a truly satisfying and complete meal in a jar. It’s a foolproof recipe that delivers consistent, delicious results.

Endless Ways to Customize Your Pudding

The basic formula is perfect for endless customization. Make it your own with these simple ideas:

• Change the Berry: Use mashed raspberries, strawberries, or mixed berries.
• Switch the Milk: Any milk works—oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or dairy milk.
• Sweeten Differently: Swap honey for maple syrup, agave, or a sugar-free syrup.
• Boost the Toppings: Add granola, nut butter, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or a dollop of yogurt.

Prep Time: 5 mins | Chill Time: 4 hours or overnight | Total Time: 4+ hours | Servings: 4

Ingredients

• ½ cup (70g) frozen wild blueberries (or fresh)
• 6 tbsp (60g) chia seeds
• 1 tbsp (21g) honey or pure maple syrup
• 1 ¼ cups (300ml) unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 scoop (31g) vanilla protein powder (a whey/casein blend works best for thickness)

Instructions

Part 1: Create the Berry Base

1. Mash the Berries: Place the blueberries in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 45-60 seconds until warm and juicy. Use a fork to mash them into a rough sauce.
2. Mix with Chia & Sweetener: In a medium mixing bowl or a large jar, combine the mashed blueberries, chia seeds, and honey. Stir well.

Part 2: Make the Protein-Packed Liquid

3. Combine Milk & Protein: In a separate bowl or cup, vigorously whisk the almond milk and protein powder together until completely smooth and no clumps remain. (For a perfectly smooth texture, blend them together briefly.)
4. Mix Everything: Pour the protein-milk mixture into the bowl with the chia seeds and blueberries. Stir thoroughly for a full minute to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and won’t clump.

Part 3: Chill & Thicken

5. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or divide the mixture evenly between four small jars or containers.
6. Let it Set: Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. The pudding will thicken to a perfect, spoonable consistency.

Part 4: Serve & Enjoy

7. Top & Serve: The next morning, give the pudding a stir. Serve chilled with your favorite toppings like extra fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter.
