Ingredients
Scale
For the Pudding:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries plus more for topping
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced almonds or chopped nuts
- Shredded coconut
- Additional raspberries or mixed berries
- Extra drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir again after 5 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Mash the Raspberries: Gently mash the raspberries with a fork to release their juices, then stir them into the chia mixture for a naturally infused berry flavor. For a smoother pudding, blend the raspberries before mixing.
- Let It Set: Cover the bowl or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thickened. If the pudding is too thick after chilling, add a splash of milk to loosen the texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stir the pudding, divide into serving cups, and add your favorite toppings before enjoying! You can layer it with granola or yogurt for extra texture.
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in a sealed container.
- Can be frozen for up to 1 month—thaw overnight before serving.
- Customize by using different fruits, nut milks, or sweeteners to suit preferences.
