Fruits and Liquids
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
Sweeteners and Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Seeds
- Prepare the Raspberries: Rinse the raspberries gently under cold water and pat them dry completely with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the rinsed raspberries, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Mix with Chia Seeds: Pour the blended raspberry mixture into a bowl or jar, add the chia seeds, and stir thoroughly to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
- Refrigerate to Thicken: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken. For an even creamier and thicker pudding, leave it overnight.
- Serve: After chilling, give the pudding a good stir before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh raspberries or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture.
Notes
- For a sweeter pudding, adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer texture if preferred.
- The pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute raspberries with other berries like strawberries or blueberries.
- Make sure to stir the pudding occasionally during the first 30 minutes of refrigeration to prevent clumping of chia seeds.
