Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  2. Stir well to mix everything together.
  3. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until it thickens.
  5. When ready to serve, top with fresh blueberries and additional lemon zest, if desired.

Notes

Make a batch ahead of time for easy breakfast or snacks. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. For a creamier texture, blend the mixture before refrigerating.
