Ingredients
  

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)

Optional: 1 tablespoon coconut flakes (for garnish)

Optional: mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Pudding Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.

    Allow to Thicken: Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes. After that, give it another good stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. This will allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.

      Layer the Cups: Once the chia pudding has thickened, take it out of the refrigerator. In serving cups or jars, add a layer of the chia pudding at the bottom, followed by a layer of fresh blueberries. Repeat one or two more times, finishing with a layer of chia pudding on top.

        Garnish: Top the final layer with a generous handful of blueberries. If desired, sprinkle some coconut flakes on top for added texture and garnish with a mint leaf for a refreshing touch.

          Serve and Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy your vibrant, nutritious Lemon Blueberry Chia Pudding Cups as a healthy snack or dessert!
