Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, alcohol-free vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 2: Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
Step 3: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual jars or containers. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to expand and thicken the pudding.
Step 4: Once the pudding has set, gently fold in the fresh raspberries, reserving some for topping if desired.
Step 5: Serve the raspberry chia pudding in bowls or jars, topped with additional raspberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon if using. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal prep recipe!
Notes
For optimal freshness, store your vegan raspberry chia pudding in airtight containers in the refrigerator, where it can last for up to four days.
Reheating isn't necessary for this dish; simply enjoy it chilled or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
For a delightful serving suggestion, layer the chia pudding with granola and additional fresh raspberries in a glass for an eye-catching parfait.
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or even a tablespoon of nut butter into the mixture for extra creaminess and depth before it sets.
