Ingredients
For the Raspberry Chia Pudding:
½ cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup organic soy milk (or your preferred milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey
⅓ cup chia seeds
For the Raspberry Jam (makes 1 jar):
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
-
Prepare the Pudding Base: In a jar, mash the raspberries with a fork or blend them with the milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Add chia seeds and stir to combine. Seal the jar and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken.
-
Make the Raspberry Jam: In a small saucepan, heat raspberries and maple syrup over medium heat. Once the berries break down, stir in chia seeds and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Let the jam cool.
-
Assemble the Pudding: After the chia pudding has set, spoon it into serving dishes. Top with a spoonful of the homemade raspberry jam, almond butter, and optional banana raspberry ice cream.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve chilled, garnished with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate for extra indulgence.
Notes
Fruit Variations: Swap raspberries with strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a different flavor.
Sweetener Options: Use agave syrup, stevia, or any sweetener you prefer.
Toppings: Add granola, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra texture and flavor.
