• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

HOW TO MAKE IT
1) In a bowl, combine chia seeds, plant-based milk, maple syrup or agave nectar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
2) Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
3) Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
4) Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
5) Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir to loosen it up.
6) Layer the chia pudding and fresh blueberries in serving glasses or bowls.
7) Garnish with lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
