Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for topping)
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (for added flavor)
Instructions
- 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.
