Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 cups full-fat coconut milk (from a can)
  • 4 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp agave nectar or maple syrup (for compote)
  • 1 cup vegan granola
  • 8 fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl or jar, whisk together 6 tbsp chia seeds, 2 cups full-fat coconut milk (from a can), 4 tsp pure maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract. Stir well so the seeds are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumping. The pudding is set when it is thick and spoonable.

  3. 3

    Make the blueberry compote: Place 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen) in a small bowl and add 2 tsp fresh lemon juice and 2 tsp agave nectar or maple syrup (for compote). Mash about half of the berries with a fork and stir to combine. The natural juices will create a loose sauce.

  4. 4

    To assemble, layer the bottom of each glass or jar with some chia pudding, then add a spoonful of blueberry compote. Add another layer of chia pudding and top with more compote.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle 1 cup vegan granola over the top and garnish with 8 fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 day (add the granola just before serving to keep it crunchy).
