Ingredients
  

  • Chia Seeds: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids fiber, and protein, chia seeds absorb liquid to form a gel-like consistency, creating the pudding texture.
  • Raspberries: Fresh or frozen raspberries provide a burst of tangy flavor vibrant color, and antioxidants.
  • Milk: Any variety works—almond coconut, soy, or dairy milk can be used depending on dietary preferences.
  • Sweetener: Natural sweeteners like maple syrup honey, or agave nectar enhance the flavor without overpowering the fruit.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds a subtle aromatic depth to the pudding.
  • Optional Toppings: Fresh berries shredded coconut, granola, or nuts for added texture and flavor.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Puree:

  • In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup of fresh or thawed raspberries with 1-2 tablespoons of sweetener and a splash of water.
  • Blend until smooth. For a seedless texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve.

Mix the Pudding Base:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the raspberry puree until well combined.

Rest and Thicken:

  • Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, until the pudding reaches a thick, creamy consistency.

Serve:

  • Stir the pudding before serving. Layer with fresh raspberries, a dollop of yogurt, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Consistency Check: If the pudding is too thick, add a splash of milk and stir until desired consistency is reached.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the raspberry puree for extra brightness.
  • Batch Prep: Make a larger batch for meal prep; chia pudding can last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
  • Presentation: Layer in clear jars for a visually appealing, grab-and-go snack.
