Description

Vanilla Raspberry Chia Pudding is a creamy and nutritious breakfast or snack option made with chia seeds soaked in almond milk, infused with pure vanilla extract, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup or honey. Layered with fresh or frozen raspberries, this pudding is easy to prepare ahead of time, making it a perfect quick and healthy treat that is both refreshing and satisfying.


Ingredients

Chia Pudding

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)

Raspberry Layer

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly mix chia seeds, almond milk, pure vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey if using. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed without clumping.
  2. Chill: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight. Stir the mixture once after 30 minutes to break up any clumps and encourage even thickening.
  3. Prepare Raspberry Layer: Mash the raspberries by hand or blend them lightly to achieve your desired texture—smooth or slightly chunky.
  4. Assemble and Serve: In serving glasses or bowls, layer the thickened chia pudding and the prepared raspberry mixture. Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired, then serve chilled for a refreshing treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice such as cow’s milk, soy milk, or oat milk depending on dietary preferences.
  • Sweetener is optional; adjust to taste or omit for a naturally tart flavor.
  • For best texture, avoid skipping the 30-minute stirring during chilling.
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve more people or for meal prep.
  • Use fresh raspberries in season or frozen raspberries when fresh are unavailable.
  • Allow the pudding to chill overnight for the creamiest consistency.
