Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed if frozen)
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp lemon zest or pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh raspberries
  • Coconut flakes
  • Granola
  • Chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Mash or Blend Raspberries: Begin by mashing the raspberries in a bowl using a fork if you prefer a chunkier texture, or blend them for a smoother pudding consistency.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Stir in the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener if using, ensuring the mixture is well combined so the chia seeds start to absorb the liquid.
  3. Initial Rest and Stir: Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes. This resting period allows chia seeds to begin thickening, then stir again thoroughly to break up any clumps and evenly distribute the seeds.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the pudding to fully thicken to the desired creamy texture.
  5. Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding again to ensure consistency. Add any optional toppings such as fresh raspberries, coconut flakes, granola, or chopped nuts. Enjoy chilled for a refreshing and nutritious meal or dessert.

Notes

  • For a smoother pudding texture, blend the raspberries thoroughly before mixing with chia seeds.
  • Adjust sweetness to your preference by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
  • Use any milk of your choice such as oat, soy, or dairy milk for different flavors and dietary needs.
  • Allowing the pudding to sit overnight in the refrigerator enhances the texture and flavor.
  • Top with your favorite nuts or granola just before serving for added crunch.
