Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: This Blueberry Crisp Blended Chia Pudding is a classic chia seed pudding consisting of plant milk, plant yogurt, blueberries, chia seeds, cinnamon, and maple syrup with a hint of vanilla and a tiny bit of sea salt to bring out the sweetness. Topped with a delicious rolled oat and almond crisp for a creamy, crunchy, rich, easy breakfast treat or dessert that is sure to impress blueberry crisp lovers everywhere.
- Health Benefits of Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are packed with a ton of health benefits. They are packed with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, which can contribute to improved heart health, better digestion, and reduced inflammation. Additionally, chia seeds can aid in weight management, stabilize blood sugar levels, and support bone health.
- Blue Color Vibrancy: The blueberries create a vibrant and beautiful blue color, but please note that the vibrancy tends to fade a little as it sits in the refrigerator.
- Consistency: The texture is somewhat a cross between pudding and creamy porridge.
- Sweetness: The good news is that you can taste the sweetness of the pudding to determine if you need to ramp up the sweetness. Feel free to ramp up the maple syrup as needed.
- Taste Test Before Committing: The beauty of this recipe is that you can literally taste it before refrigerating to see if you need to add more maple syrup or cinnamon as you may wish to ramp up either.
- Cinnamon: Not all cinnamon is created equal. Some brands of cinnamon are light and passively flavored while others are strong, sharp, and astringent. Use judgement and start on the low end. You can use your favorite cinnamon in this recipe; however, we suggest starting on the low end until you have a strong understanding of how the cinnamon that you are using in this recipe impacts the flavor.
- Why Add the Ingredients in the Order Presented? This is to prevent the chia seeds from sticking to the blades and clumping at the bottom of the blender. Additionally, it’s perfectly fine if you do not completely blend all the chia seeds.
- Table Salt: If using table salt, you should use less table salt than the amount listed in the ingredients as sea salt crystals are larger than table salt crystals. Since table salt crystals are very fine, less table salt is required to season a dish. We would suggest starting with about 1/4 to 1/2 the amount of sea salt listed. You can always add more salt but cannot take it away. We recommend using sea salt as it is less refined than table salt.
- Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered air-tight container.
This pudding does not freeze well.
