Cooking Instructions

  1. In a jar or bowl, whisk together chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey.

  2. Let sit for 10 minutes, whisk again to break up any clumps, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until thickened into a pudding consistency.

  3. To assemble, spoon half the chia pudding into two glasses or bowls.

  4. Add a layer of crushed graham crackers, then a layer of fresh blueberries.

  5. Top with remaining pudding and remaining berries. Serve cold.

Kidney Nutrition & Mineral Prep Tips

Dietitian Tip: Standard Greek yogurt can be very high in potassium and dairy phosphorus. Using chia pudding provides a satisfying creamy texture with significantly lower mineral density.

Stage Adaptation: Safe for Stages 1 through 3b.
