๐ซ Ingredients
- Chia seeds: The base of this recipe, chia seeds are small seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant that form a gel-like consistency when mixed with liquids

- Blueberries: The fruit star of this recipe, blueberries add a touch of tart and sweet
- Nuts or seeds: For a crunch factor we’re adding your choice of nuts or seeds (I used pumpkin seeds in this recipe)
- Flavorings: A touch of vanilla extract and maple syrup add a slightly warm and sweet flavor to the pudding
- Recommended tools: small mixing bowls, small glasses or jars for single-servings of pudding

1๏ธโฃ Step One: Make chia seed pudding
