💖 Why This Recipe Works
- Layered for Looks & Taste: Creamy chia meets fruity yogurt—every bite is balanced.
- Naturally Sweet: Maple syrup and berries add just the right touch of sweetness.
- Healthy but Indulgent: Packed with chia seeds and fresh blueberries, this is a wholesome option for breakfast or a snack
⭐ Star Ingredients
- Chia Seeds: These little powerhouses thicken the pudding while packing in omega-3s, fiber, and plant protein. I always stir twice—once to mix, once to prevent clumps.
- Unsweetened Soy Milk: My go-to for creaminess and protein, but almond or oat milk work beautifully too.
- Vegan Yogurt: Adds tangy richness and makes those layers dreamy. I like using vanilla-flavored for a subtle sweetness.
- Fresh Blueberries: Blended or whole, they bring antioxidants, color, and that pop of sweet-tart flavor.

- Tropical twist: Go mango or pineapple and layer with coconut yogurt.
- Chocolate craving? Mix cocoa powder into the chia base for a healthy dessert fix.
