This chia seed pudding is not only a great breakfast option for people with dietary restrictions, it's also infused with florals. From Beth of Tasty Yummies and featured on the Free People blog, the Blueberry Lavender Chia Seed Pudding is a gluten-free and vegan recipe that you can prepare the night before for a quick and easy morning meal.
The chia seeds are a source of antioxidants, fiber, omega 3 fatty acids and protein. The hydrating anti-inflammatory ingredient contains many minerals, like calcium, iron and potassium. The blueberries add another antioxidants dosage.
To recreate this recipe at home, you will need coconut milk (or another non-dairy milk if you're lactose intolerant), dried lavender buds, Medjool dates, blueberries, vanilla extract and chia seeds. You can also add natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
