This flaxseed pudding makes a healthy snack or breakfast that’s easy to make, full of fiber, vegan friendly, and naturally sweetened! 

I know mornings can be pretty hectic, so you may be in a rush and forget about breakfast all together. Not anymore! Making flaxseed pudding can be made the night before so it’s ready to go the following day without any hassle. 

Flaxseed is a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3s. You can combine it with a few fruits and maybe even some nuts and seeds, where you will have a powerhouse pudding. If you are a fan of making smoothies, add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal the next time. You can’t even taste it but can still enjoy all of the health benefits it has to offer.

You will love making it because there are so many ways you can add a variety of toppings, so it’s never boring. It’s also gluten-free and dairy-free for those who have sensitives or intolerances. 

Ingredients Needed 

• ground flaxseed
• date
• frozen wild blueberries
• plant-based milk of choice

How to Make Flaxseed Pudding 

Combine all of the pudding ingredients into a blend and pulse until smooth. 

Pour in an airtight container or mason jar and chill for 1 to 2 hours or until the pudding sets. 

Add additional toppings when you are ready to eat! 

Variations 

• Cow’s milk can be swapped for the plant-based if needed. 
• If you don’t have any dates you can use a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a sweetener. Mashed bananas is also another alternative.
• Swap the blueberries for another frozen fruit to make your favorite combo.
• To make the pudding a thicker or thinner consistency, adjust the milk as needed.
• This is a single serving recipe, but you can make as many batches as you would like so breakfast is ready ahead of time. 
• Flaxseed pudding will stay fresh in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up 5 days.

Here are some popular topping ideas. 

• Nuts 
• Seeds
• Nut Butter or Seed Butter
• Chocolate chips 
• Fresh fruit 
• Jams, jelly, or preserves 
• Greek yogurt
• Dried fruit

Can You Use Whole Flax Seeds? 

You could, but the nutrition varies and it would change the consistency. So ground flaxseed meal is best.

Ground flaxseed is easier for our bodies to digest, while whole flax seeds pass through the body without absorbing a lot of the nutrition it offers. The ground version provides both soluble and insoluble fiber, while the whole seeds only provide the insoluble fiber.
