Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

Absolutely! The frozen blueberries just help intensify the color and creaminess, but fresh work great too.

What if I don't have yogurt?

You can use only milk, though the pudding will be a little less creamy. Adjust the chia seeds slightly if needed to thicken.

How do I make it sweeter or less sweet?

Add more or less maple syrup depending on your taste. You can also use honey if you prefer. My recommendation is to omit the maple syrup if you want it less sweet, and add additional syrup after the fact to be sure you don't overdo it!

Can I make this nut-free?

Yes! Just skip the nut butter and opt for seed-based toppings like sunflower butter or skip entirely.

Notes

Plan Ahead : Chia pudding needs time to thicken – at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for the creamiest texture.
Storage Tip : Store in a sealed jar or container in the fridge for up to 4 – 5 days. Keep toppings separate until ready to serve.
Yogurt Matters : Choose unsweetened yogurt to control sweetness (and unnecessary ingredients added to a lot of store-bought brands). A splash of flavored balsamic can add a flavor twist, or you can always add an extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you’d like.
No Blender? You can skip the frozen blueberries and whisk everything by hand if needed – just use yogurt and milk instead.
Serving Suggestion : Serve chilled with toppings of your choice like homemade granola, fresh fruit, or even a scoop of nut butter for added protein and flavor.
