Vanilla Raspberry Chia Pudding Recipe

4.4 from 75 reviews

A refreshing and nutritious Vanilla Raspberry Chia Pudding that combines creamy chia seeds soaked in almond milk with luscious fresh raspberries. This easy, no-cook recipe is perfect for a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert, made naturally sweetened with maple syrup or honey and infused with pure vanilla.

Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 12 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)

Raspberry Layer

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, pure vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey thoroughly until well combined to ensure even distribution.
  2. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. Stir once after 30 minutes to prevent chia seed clumping and to promote even gelatinous texture.
  3. Prepare Raspberry Layer: Mash or blend the fresh or frozen raspberries until achieving your preferred texture, either smooth or retaining some small pieces for a slightly chunky consistency.
  4. Assemble and Serve: In serving glasses or bowls, layer the set chia pudding alternately with the raspberry mixture. Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired, then serve chilled for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • Use any type of milk based on preference or dietary needs, such as coconut, soy, or dairy milk.
  • Sweetener is optional depending on the tartness of the raspberries and your personal sweetness preference.
  • Soaking chia seeds overnight helps improve texture and digestibility.
  • Can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds to 4 tablespoons.
