Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred milk)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine raspberries, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the raspberry mixture and stir in chia seeds until well combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to mason jars with lids.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to ensure even consistency. Divide into serving bowls or mason jars.
- Top with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint for garnish.
Helpful Tips
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture again before refrigerating to break down the chia seeds.
- For a touch of citrus, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the mixture.
- Substitute agave syrup or coconut sugar for a different sweetener option.
Storage Instructions
Store the pudding in airtight containers or mason jars in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 5 days, making it an excellent make-ahead option for busy weeks.
