Chia seed Pudding with Blueberries is a wonderful breakfast. It is layered with blueberry chia seed on the bottom and the next layer with regular chia seeds to make it colorful in a jar. They are so easy to make and can be meal-prep to keep yourself free on weekdays.
Chia seeds go well with any type of fruit and nuts. It tastes good with any nut milk or dairy milk. To make more layers in a parfait, assemble with more fresh fruits and nuts. Repeat the layers.
