Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup almonds, chopped
2 tablespoons cacao nibs
1 tablespoon bee pollen

Instructions
Mix the Base:
In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, and almond milk. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
Sweeten and Refrigerate:
Add the honey to the mixture and stir again. Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to a mason jar. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds and oats to soak and thicken.
Prepare the Toppings:
While the chia pudding is setting, prepare your toppings by chopping the walnuts and almonds.
Assemble the Pudding:
Once the chia pudding has thickened, give it a good stir. Divide it into individual serving bowls or jars.
Add the Toppings:
Top each serving with oats, pumpkin seeds, chopped walnuts, chopped almonds, cacao nibs, bee pollen, and fresh blueberries.
Serve:
Drizzle a little extra honey on top if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy this nutritious and delicious chia pudding as a perfect breakfast or snack.
