Recipe Intro From plant.forward.nutritionist

These chia pudding cups with the juicy blueberry compote are like summer in a jar that you can enjoy any time of year. Made with Cascadian Farm Frozen Blueberries, you can layer the blueberries and chia pudding, or mix some of the compote straight into the chia pudding for a brilliant purple snack or breakfast (of course, I recommend adding even more of the blueberries on top – can’t get enough!).

Recipe Description

This blueberry chia pudding is a blend of creamy chia seed pudding and sweet, tangy blueberry compote. It's a perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack that's loaded with fiber, protein, and antioxidants. The blueberries add a burst of flavor and freshness. Serve it layered or mixed, topped with crunchy granola and a dollop of yogurt for added texture and taste.
