How to Make Raspberry Chia Pudding
- Blend the base: In a blender, combine raspberries, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Add chia seeds: Pour the mixture into a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed.
- Let it rest: Allow to sit for 5–10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thick and pudding-like.
- Serve & garnish: Spoon into jars and top with fresh raspberries, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of yogurt.
Texture Tips
- Use 3 tbsp chia seeds per 1 cup liquid for perfect consistency — creamy, not runny.
