Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (plant-based or dairy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)
Fruit
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, mix chia seeds with your choice of milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener until well combined.
- Add Fresh Raspberries: Gently fold in fresh raspberries, distributing them evenly without breaking them up too much to keep a nice texture contrast.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight so the chia seeds can absorb the liquid and create the pudding’s creamy consistency.
- Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to blend everything smoothly, then top with extra raspberries or your favorite garnishes.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries and pure vanilla extract for best flavor and texture.
- Don’t skip sweetener to balance the tartness of raspberries.
- Stir the chia mixture a couple of times in the first hour to prevent clumping and ensure creaminess.
- Experiment with different types of milk to find your preferred flavor and consistency.
- Use portion-size jars or containers for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
