Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry Mixture
- 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
- Mix the Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined and the chia seeds are evenly dispersed.
- Mash the Raspberries: Gently mash the raspberries with a fork to release their natural juices. Stir the mashed raspberries into the chia mixture to infuse it with a fresh berry flavor. For a smoother texture, you can blend the raspberries before mixing.
- Let It Set: Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture into an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency. If the pudding becomes too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen it.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stir the pudding again and divide it into serving cups. Top with sliced almonds, shredded coconut, extra raspberries, or a drizzle of maple syrup as desired. For added texture, consider layering with granola or yogurt. Enjoy your nutritious chia pudding!
Notes
- Stir the chia pudding 5 minutes after mixing to prevent clumping.
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries depending on availability; both work well.
- This pudding can be made the night before for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- If a smoother pudding is preferred, blend the raspberries before mixing.
- Additional toppings like granola or yogurt add texture and flavor variety.
