Chia seeds are a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, plus they have fiber, iron and calcium. Here they’re mixed with a fruity base and refrigerated until the chia seeds expand to form a thick, creamy texture similar to tapioca.

Prep/Cook Time: 8 Hours 5 Minutes, Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups blackberries, raspberries and/or diced mango (fresh or frozen), divided
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup granola

Directions

  1. Puree 1 1/4 cups fruit and milk in a blender or food processor until smooth. Scrape into a medium bowl; mix in chia, syrup and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 3 days.
  2. Divide the pudding between 2 bowls, layering each serving with 1/4 cup of the remaining fruit, 1/4 cup yogurt and 2 tablespoons granola.
