Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 3/4 cup almond milk or coconut milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberry Blend: Combine the raspberries, almond milk (or coconut milk), maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Add Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and stir in the chia seeds. Whisk thoroughly to ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed and start absorbing the liquid.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and the pudding to thicken to a creamy consistency.
- Serve: Stir the pudding once more before serving and top with your favorite toppings such as additional fresh berries, nuts, or coconut flakes for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar for different sweetness profiles.
- For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds to 1/3 cup.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the pudding again after refrigeration.
- This pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
