My mornings begin with a ritual that feels more like a treat than a routine: blueberry milkshake chia pudding. It starts with a simple blend — ripe banana for creaminess, blueberries for a burst of freshness, and just enough honey to bring a soft, natural sweetness. I blend it all into cold milk until it turns into this dreamy, fruity mix, then stir in chia seeds and let it sit overnight. By morning, it thickens into the perfect pudding — velvety, spoonable, and full of flavor. It’s like waking up to a melted milkshake that decided to be wholesome, a breakfast that’s as nourishing as it is indulgent. Comforting, cooling, and made with love — this is my kind of good morning.

INGREDIENTS USED IN BLUEBERRY MILKSHAKE CHIA PUDDING
BLUEBERRY
Blueberries are the heart of this blueberry milkshake chia pudding, bringing a vibrant pop of flavor, color, and nutrition to every spoonful. When blended with banana and honey in milk, they infuse the mixture with a naturally sweet-tart berry taste that balances the creaminess beautifully. Their deep purple hue transforms the pudding into something visually inviting — a soft, dreamy lavender that looks as good as it tastes. Beyond flavor and aesthetics, blueberries also add a boost of antioxidants and vitamins, making this breakfast feel indulgent yet wholesome.
BANANAS
Bananas bring natural creaminess, sweetness, and a hint of tropical flavor to oats chia pudding. They enhance the texture, balance the tanginess of strawberries, and add potassium and fiber, making the dish more wholesome and satisfying. Bananas and blueberries complement each other very well.
MILK
Milk is the base for any chia pudding, Milk is blended along with a few other ingredients and is then refrigerated overnight with chia seeds to let it set. It gives structure and creaminess to the Chia Pudding. I have used Nestle milk but you can use any of your choice.
CHIA SEEDS
Chia seeds have a remarkable ability to absorb liquid and expand, creating a gel-like consistency. This property turns the mixture into a thick, pudding-like texture without the need for cooking or additional thickeners. Chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with fibre, protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. This makes chia pudding a nutrient-rich option. Chia seeds have a mild, nutty flavour that blends well with various ingredients, allowing them to take on the flavours of other components in the pudding.
HONEY
Honey is added to the blueberry milkshake Chia Pudding to impart the right amount of sweetness to this dessert. Honey is a natural source of various nutrients, including antioxidants and trace minerals, which is why it is better than sugar. It allows you to adjust the level of sweetness to your preference. You can add more or less honey depending on how sweet you want the chia pudding to be.

TIPS TO MAKE HEALTHY BLUEBERRY MILKSHAKE CHIA PUDDING
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness- The riper the banana, the sweeter your pudding will be — no need for extra sugar or sweeteners.
- Blend the blueberries- Blending gives a milkshake-like base that feels indulgent but keeps it light and fruity. Use fresh or frozen blueberries.
- Don’t overdo the sweetener- If needed, add just a touch of honey, maple syrup, or dates. Taste before adding more — the fruit often does the job on its own.
- Let it sit overnight- The longer it rests, the creamier it gets. A minimum of 4 hours works, but overnight is best.
