Combining antioxidant-rich raspberries with omega-3 packed chia seeds and almond milk, it offers a refreshing and satisfying treat that is easy to prepare and perfect for make-ahead meals.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Main 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)

Toppings (Optional)

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

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly dispersed to prevent clumping.
  2. Stir After 5 Minutes: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes and then stir again to break up any seed clumps that may have formed.
  3. Mash the Raspberries: Gently mash the raspberries with a fork to release their fresh juices, then fold them into the chia mixture to infuse a natural berry flavor throughout the pudding. For a smoother texture, you can blend the raspberries before adding.
  4. Let It Set: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the pudding to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
  5. Adjust Texture if Needed: After chilling, if the pudding is too thick, stir in a small splash of almond milk to loosen the consistency to your preference.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Stir the pudding once more before dividing it into serving cups. Top with sliced almonds, shredded coconut, extra fresh berries, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired. You may also layer it with granola or yogurt for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Stirring the pudding a second time shortly after mixing prevents chia seeds from clumping.
  • Raspberries can be mashed or blended for a smoother pudding texture.
  • Adjust thickness by adding milk after refrigeration if too dense.
  • Make ahead and refrigerate overnight for best texture and convenience.
  • Customize toppings to add crunch and flavor variety.
