Instructions

Prepare the pudding base: In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of honey, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual containers and place them in the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit overnight (at least 6 hours) to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
Prepare the blueberry topping: Before serving, place the blueberries in a small bowl and drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of honey. Gently toss the blueberries to coat them evenly in honey.
Serve: Spoon the chilled lemon chia seed pudding into serving bowls or jars and top generously with the honey-coated blueberries. Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful breakfast or snack.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best bright, tangy flavor.
Fairlife or whole milk enhances creaminess and protein, but any milk or milk alternative can be used.
Adjust honey quantity based on desired sweetness or dietary preferences.
The pudding can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For added texture, consider sprinkling chopped nuts or granola on top before serving.
