Blueberry chia pudding a little glow up in a jar This delightful and nutritious pudding is packed with protein, bursting with antioxidants, and loaded with fiber. It’s a perfect choice for a quick and healthy meal, taking less than a minute to prepare. Chia seeds are incredibly nutritious, consisting of 23% protein and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help curb cravings and keep you feeling full. They’re my go-to for busy days when I need a quick and sustaining energy boost .
Blending chia seeds results in a much creamier texture compared to the traditional method, making the pudding even more enjoyable. Adding blueberries, dates, and vanilla gives it an extra touch of natural sweetness that elevates the flavor. This combination not only enhances the taste but also increases the nutritional value with added vitamins and minerals from the blueberries.
Enjoy this blueberry chia pudding any day of the week, whether for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a dessert. It’s especially great for a busy Tuesday when you need something quick yet satisfying to keep you energized throughout the day. The beautiful purple hue from the blueberries also makes it a visually appealing treat.
