About the Recipe

Now if you asked me what I love about this chia pudding recipe, I might ramble on for pages and pages, and I’m sure you don’t want that. Instead I’ll just hit the highlights.

First, it’s absolutely delicious! The blueberry flavor is wonderful, and the lemon zest brightens and livens up the drink in a way you’d really miss if it weren’t there.
It’s also unbelievably simple. Because the ingredients list is short and mostly made with Paleo pantry staples, I don’t need to make a special trip to the store. It also only takes about 5 minutes of hands-on time, and super easy recipes like that are definitely my style.
And did we talk about that color yet? I mean, really, is there anything prettier than that vibrant purple color
Lastly, it’s squeaky clean. You won’t feel “the yucks” after, because it’s made with totally natural, wholesome ingredients suitable for Paleo, GF, Low Carb and other clean eating lifestyles.

So why’d I make this recipe? Well, my friend Josclyn is always making the most delicious berry creations, and it totally inspired me to make something blueberry-licious in my own kitchen. And I think the result was pretty fabulous, don’t you?
