This delicious and healthy pudding is naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup and infused with fresh raspberries. Made with chia seeds and almond milk, it offers a creamy texture and a rich berry flavor, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a satisfying dessert.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Berry Mixture

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Toppings

  • Sliced almonds or chopped nuts
  • Shredded coconut
  • Additional raspberries or mixed berries
  • Extra drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  2. Stir After 5 Minutes: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again thoroughly to prevent clumping of the chia seeds.
  3. Mash the Raspberries: Gently mash the fresh or frozen raspberries with a fork to release their juices, then fold them into the chia seed mixture to infuse a natural berry flavor.
  4. Alternative – Blend for Smoothness: For a smoother texture, blend the raspberries before mixing them into the chia pudding base.
  5. Let It Set: Cover the bowl or transfer the pudding to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture.
  6. Adjust Consistency: If the pudding becomes too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of almond milk or your preferred milk to loosen the texture before serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Stir the thickened pudding well, divide it into serving cups, and top with sliced almonds or chopped nuts, shredded coconut, additional fresh berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup. For added texture, layer with granola or yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • Use any milk of choice such as oat, soy, or cow’s milk to suit dietary preferences.
  • Maple syrup adds natural sweetness and can be adjusted to taste or substituted with honey for variation.
  • Prepare the pudding the night before for a quick and easy breakfast option.
  • Chilling time is important for chia seeds to absorb the liquid and achieve the pudding-like consistency.
  • For extra protein, try topping with Greek yogurt or adding a scoop of protein powder to the base.
