Combine the chia seeds, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice and honey in a glass jar or bowl. Mix well to combine and break up any chunks of chia seeds.
Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours but 6 - 8 is better. This gives the chia seeds time to soak up the liquid and swell to make a pudding consistency.

Place the blueberries and sugar in a small saucepan and stir to combine.
Heat over medium heat, stirring until the mixture starts to boil. Allow it to boil slowly for about 10 minutes, or until it is thick and a spoon leaves a trail when pulled through the jam.
Tip: if you like a smoother jam, crush the berries with a fork as the mixture cooks to release more liquid. If you prefer your jam to be chunkier, stir it until it thickens, leaving some of the berries whole.
Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool. Once cooled, place the jam in a container and place in the fridge to chill.

Place about 1/4 cup of the chia pudding in a serving dish. Top with a tablespoon of the blueberry jam and top with 1/4 cup more of the pudding.
Garnish with chopped walnuts, fresh blueberries and or plain Greek yogurt.
