Blueberry Jam Chia Pudding (dairy free + refined sugar free)

Jump to Recipe

Simple Blueberry Jam Chia Pudding. Just 4 basic ingredients + 3 minutes of prep time = a no fuss breakfast or snack.

hello, friends! How’s everyone doing out there?

We are over a month into quarantine lockdown here in Northern California, and honestly, I’m having a little bit of cabin fever over here. Doing my best to cultivate patience.

Anyone else feel like you are cooking and doing dishes WAY more than usual? ?

Minimalist recipes with few ingredients are definitely on the menu right now with all the ingredient shortages and minimal trips to the grocery store.

So here’s another quick and easy, small batch recipe for you. Just make the chia pudding the night before, and you can wake up to a ready-made, healthy breakfast with no cooking involved.

Blueberry Jam Chia Pudding Recipe Deets:

❤️milk… of any kind will work. We usually use homemade coconut milk, but any dairy free milk that you like is good.

❤️chia seeds… can be either black or white.  And there is no nutritional difference between the two. They are high in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and minerals like calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium.  Chia seeds also have a moderate amount of protein with about 5 grams in 2 tablespoons.

❤️blueberry jam… is my favorite. We use a fruit-sweetened wild blueberry jam OR my homemade 3 Ingredient Blueberry Chia Jam.

❤️blueberries… to sprinkle on top. Fresh or frozen is fine.

❤️optional add-in… feel free to sweeten the deal with maple syrup or honey if that’s your jam.

It’s basically a creamy chia pudding with sweet swirls of blueberry jam topped with juicy fresh blueberries. So dang tasty! What else do I need to say?

Make it for a delicious, uncomplicated breakfast or snack. You won’t be sorry. The recipe make 2 servings.

Sending you all a virtual hug. I miss hugs. Can’t wait to give all my people one.

xo,

Katja

  • 💗 We choose to live below our means.

💗 We don’t buy things we can’t pay for. We don’t carry debt to maintain a lifestyle. We don’t feel the need to buy the latest brand name or keep up with what everyone else has.

💗 We try to be intentional with our spending, asking ourselves whether something actually adds value to our lives — or whether we’ve simply been conditioned to want it.

💗 We invest in things that align with our values, including our future selves.

💗 And we’ve learned to value things that can’t be bought more than the things that can.
  • Lake life is the life for me…. 🚣‍♂️👙🏊• slow days with sweet friends doing what we love ❤️
  • 💗 the older i get, the less interested i am in building a life that looks good from the outside • i’d rather build one i genuinely love living 

💗 this is my kind of vacation:

* a quiet lake
* my favorite people
* time outside 
* simple meals 

💗 nothing fancy 

💗 i think the  best parts of taking ownership of your life is realizing you get to decide what a good life looks like 

💗 spending time with BOTH of my girls is EVERYTHING  to me
  • ✨ 5 years ago, i completely uprooted my life because i felt a call for something different • i don’t have a single regret 

there is so much peace and power in intentionally creating a life aligned with your values and heart’s desire 

but it takes radical ownership of EVERY aspect of your life
  • 💪fitness is one of the biggest mood boosters in my life—not because it solves everything, but because it consistently gives me space to come back to myself 💪

💪sometimes the workout is the least important part • the real gift is becoming the kind of woman who keeps choosing herself, over and over again 💪
  • ✨this season has changed me in ways i never expected—and honestly, i think it’s making me a better woman • softer, slower, stronger, and more trusting ✨✨
  • ☀️sunlight sets the tone for my day and for my hormones • i’m 52• moving towards menopause • not doing complicated protocols, hormones or peptides • finding my way through slowing down, getting strong , simplifying, and being intentional with what ACTUALLY supports my body • every woman has a different journey • and i’m figuring out mine 💗
