Description
This Healthy Raspberry Chia Pudding is creamy, naturally sweet, and refreshingly light. Layers of thick chia pudding and bright raspberries make it perfect for breakfast, snack, or a wholesome dessert.
Ingredients
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
Fresh raspberries for topping
Granola for topping (optional)
Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thick and pudding-like.
- In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with lemon juice and honey until slightly saucy but still textured.
- Stir the chilled chia pudding well to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Spoon a layer of chia pudding into serving glasses, then add a layer of raspberry mixture.
- Repeat layers as desired, finishing with fresh raspberries on top.
- Garnish with granola and mint leaves if desired, and serve chilled.
Notes
For a fully vegan version, replace honey with additional maple syrup.
Frozen raspberries can be used if thawed and drained first.
If pudding becomes too thick, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
For added protein, mix in a spoonful of plant-based protein powder before chilling.
