Ingredients

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon almond slices (optional)
• A pinch of salt

Tools Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or fork
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Resealable container (for soaking chia)
• Serving bowl

Suggested Substitutions and Additions

• Almond milk: You can easily swap this for coconut milk, oat milk, or regular dairy milk.

• Almond slices: Walnuts or pecans can provide a nice crunch too.

How to Make Easy Blueberry Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl with Almond Milk

Step 1: Mix the Chia Seed Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine your chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or a fork to blend everything until combined.

Step 2: Let It Soak

Cover the bowl and set it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or, better yet, overnight. This soaking is key, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the almond milk and expand, creating a thick, pudding-like consistency. You’ll know it’s ready when you see the chia seeds have turned gelatinous.

Step 3: Serve It Up

Once it’s set, give your chia mixture a good stir. Transfer it to a serving bowl and top it generously with fresh blueberries. You can sprinkle on sliced almonds if you like a little crunch.

Step 4: Enjoy

Dive in and enjoy your guilt-free breakfast bowl! Each spoonful is packed with nutritious goodness, making your morning routine feel rewarding and wholesome.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• To save time, you can prepare the chia seed mixture the night before. Just store it in the fridge overnight.
• If it’s too thick for your liking, just stir in a little extra almond milk before serving.
• Don’t worry if you forget to soak the seeds—just let it sit for about 10 minutes, and it will thicken nicely.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you notice it thickens too much, just stir in more almond milk before enjoying. You can also freeze the chia mixture; just defrost in the fridge overnight when you’re ready to enjoy.
