Watermelon, known for its hydrating properties and sweet flavor, is a summertime favorite, but its benefits extend beyond mere refreshment. Packed with vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants, watermelon is not only delicious but also promotes skin health and supports the immune system. Chia seeds, on the other hand, have gained popularity as a superfood in recent years due to their numerous health benefits. These tiny seeds are loaded with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, making them an excellent addition to any breakfast. When combined, watermelon and chia seeds create a unique flavor profile that is both refreshing and satisfying, making the Watermelon Chia Pudding Breakfast Jar a perfect start to any day.

Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh watermelon, cubed and blended until smooth

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Additional watermelon cubes for layering

Optional toppings: granola, coconut flakes, or sliced almonds

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, blend the cubed watermelon until smooth to create a watermelon puree.

    In a separate container or jar, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

      Pour the watermelon puree into the mixture and stir until fully combined.

        Cover the jar or bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight to allow the chia seeds to expand and the mixture to thicken.

          Once the chia pudding is set, stir again to break up the chia seeds.

            To assemble the breakfast jar, layer the watermelon chia pudding with additional fresh watermelon cubes and your choice of toppings, such as granola, coconut flakes, or sliced almonds.

              Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of refreshment.
