Ingredients
1 cup blueberries

1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 pinch salt
Instructions
1. Mash or blend the blueberries with the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until mostly smooth.
2. In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, and salt until smooth.
3. Stir the blueberry mixture into the milk mixture.
4. Add the chia seeds and mix very well to distribute them evenly.
5. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
6. Cover and refrigerate until thick and creamy, preferably overnight.
7. Stir once more before serving, then top with extra blueberries or your favorite toppings.
Notes
Do not skip the second stir after the pudding rests for a few minutes, or the chia seeds may clump together instead of thickening evenly.
