Raspberry Chia Pudding (Printable Version)

Creamy raspberry and chia seed blend, naturally sweetened and perfect for any time of day.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 ⅔ cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
02 - 3 ½ ounces fresh or frozen raspberries
03 - 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Chia Pudding

05 - ¼ cup chia seeds

→ Topping (Optional)

06 - Fresh raspberries
07 - Chopped nuts or granola
08 - Fresh mint leaves

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine the almond milk, raspberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender. Process until completely smooth and vibrant pink.
02 - Transfer the raspberry mixture to a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the chia seeds until evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
03 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for optimal texture. Stir once after 30 minutes to prevent the seeds from clumping together.
04 - Once the pudding has thickened to a custard-like consistency, stir vigorously to redistribute any settled seeds. Portion into serving glasses and top with fresh raspberries, chopped nuts, or mint leaves as desired.
