Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Once the chia pudding is ready, give it a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Divide the chia pudding into serving bowls or glasses.
- Top with pomegranate seeds, fresh raspberries, and a few fresh mint leaves for added color and flavor.
- Serve chilled and enjoy! You can drizzle a little more maple syrup or honey on top for extra sweetness if desired.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, you can use coconut milk or cashew milk instead of almond milk.
- Feel free to experiment with other toppings like sliced bananas, granola, or coconut flakes.
- This dessert can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for meal prep or a quick snack during the week.
