Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tbsp acai berry powder
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Fresh blackberries
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients (5 minutes + soaking overnight): In a bowl, mix together the acai berry powder, chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the chia seeds to soak up the liquid and expand.
  2. Stir and Adjust Consistency (5 minutes): The next day, stir the pudding. If it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Garnish and Serve (2 minutes): Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Garnish with fresh blueberries and blackberries on top just before serving. Add some fresh mint leaves if desired.
