- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed if frozen)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Sweeteners
- 1–2 teaspoons honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Chia Seeds and Milk: Whisk together 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 cup of your preferred milk in a mixing bowl or jar. Stir vigorously to prevent clumps and evenly distribute the seeds.

- Use fresh raspberries and pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
- For optimal texture, soak the pudding overnight (6-8 hours).
- Experiment with different plant-based milks such as almond, coconut, or oat milk for varying taste and creaminess.
