Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, coconut, oat, or cow’s milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup)
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Optional Toppings and Variations

  • Fresh raspberries for garnish
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Crunchy almonds or other nuts
  • 1 tablespoon cacao powder (for chocolate raspberry variation)
  • Lemon or orange zest (for citrus zest variation)
  • 1 teaspoon spirulina or matcha powder (for superfood boost)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or cardamom (for spiced version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Puree: Blend fresh or thawed frozen raspberries until smooth to create a natural fruit puree that adds sweetness and color.
  2. Mix the Chia Seeds and Liquid: In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, milk or milk alternative, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to prevent clumping and start the soaking process.
  3. Sweeten and Incorporate Raspberry: Add your chosen natural sweetener and the raspberry puree to the chia mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  4. Let it Set: Cover and refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow chia seeds to swell and create a thick, creamy texture.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Stir the pudding before serving. Garnish with fresh raspberries, nuts, toasted coconut, or other toppings of your choice for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Soak chia seeds properly for at least 4 hours to ensure optimal texture and digestibility.
  • Stir the mixture a few times during soaking to prevent clumps from forming.
  • Adjust the amount of sweetener based on the tartness of your raspberries.
  • Fresh raspberries provide more vibrant flavor and color, but frozen raspberries work well when thawed.
  • Experiment with different milk types to find your preferred richness and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
