how to make Raspberry Chia Pudding

Ingredients:

  • 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)
  • Sliced almonds or chopped nuts
  • Shredded coconut
  • Additional raspberries or mixed berries
  • Extra drizzle of maple syrup

Directions:

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  2. Mash the Raspberries: In a separate bowl, lightly mash the raspberries with a fork. This will release their juice and flavor.

  3. Let It Set: Fold the mashed raspberries into the chia mixture. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.

  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, give the pudding a stir. Serve it in bowls and top with additional raspberries, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
