Ingredients

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (more or less to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare the Raspberry Puree: In a blender, add the fresh raspberries, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds if desired, then set aside.

Combine the Chia Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

Mix with Raspberry Puree: Once the chia mixture is well combined, fold in half of the raspberry puree, creating a marbled effect.

Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.

Serve: After chilling, stir the chia pudding, then layer it in serving glasses or bowls starting with the chia mixture, followed by a layer of raspberry puree. Repeat until the glasses are filled.

Garnish: Top with additional fresh raspberries and a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
