What ingredients do I need for this blueberry chia seed pudding?
This blueberry chia seed pudding requires only a 5 simple ingredients! I am guessing you have most of these ingredients in your fridge/pantry right now.
Required Ingredients:
- unsweetened dairy free yogurt
- unsweetened dairy free milk
- white chia seeds
- raw honey or pure maple syrup
- frozen blueberries
Optional Ingredients:
- butterfly pea powder
- dairy free whipped cream
- fresh blueberries
Do I have to use butterfly pea powder?
The butterfly pea powder is optional in this recipe. Please note, if you don’t add this superfood powder, the dessert will be more purple than blue because the butterfly pea powder adds a deep blue color to the dessert. Whether blue or purple, it is a stunning dessert! I get my butterfly pea powder from Nature Restore.
Where do I find dairy free yogurt?
I personally like to use Forager Project or Kite Hill dairy free plain unsweetened yogurt. Many grocery stores will have dairy free yogurt options!
Should I use raw honey or pure maple syrup?
I personally like to use raw honey in this recipe to keep the pudding a lighter color. But either sweetener will work! You could also use date syrup.

You’ll want to store this delicious pudding in the fridge. It will last for up to 5 days! I like to store it in sealed glass containers.
