Ingredient Notes
This recipe uses just a few simple ingredients, but each one helps create the perfect balance of texture and flavor.
For full recipe instructions and complete list of ingredients, scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this page.
- Fresh raspberries: Blending the raspberries creates a berry flavor and added fiber. You can use frozen raspberries if needed.
- Chia seeds: The key to thickening the pudding! They absorb liquid and create a creamy pudding-like texture while adding fiber, healthy fats and protein.
- Milk: Any milk works. Dairy milk adds more protein, but almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or another dairy free milk works too.
- Honey: Just a small amount enhances the natural sweetness of the berries. You can sub with pure maple syrup or adjust the amount depending on your taste preference.
Variations
- Boost the protein: Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or add 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder before chilling for a more filling breakfast.
- Make it chocolate raspberry: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons cocoa powder or a few dark chocolate chips for a richer dessert version.
- Use mixed berries: Swap some or all of the raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a slightly different flavor.
- Add crunch: Top with chopped nuts, granola, or toasted coconut just before serving.
How to Make Raspberry Chia Pudding
Raspberry chia seed pudding is quick to make, simple, and perfect for meal prep.
- In a blender or smoothie cup combine the berries, milk, and honey. (You can also use a small food processor.)
- Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a small glass jar. Add the chia seeds and stir to mix well.
- Cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. You can stir again after 30 minutes to 1 hour to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Serve with fresh berries or a dollop of greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey.
Jamie’s tips
Expert Recipe Tips
- Blend the raspberries until completely smooth. This helps create the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the thickness. If the pudding feels too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk before serving to loosen it to your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness before chilling. Raspberry flavor can vary. Taste the blended mixture and add a little more honey or maple syrup if needed before adding the chia seeds.
- Use small storage containers. I love using these small 16 ounce prep jars or a mason jar for chia pudding.
Storage Instructions
Store the chia pudding in an airtight container or sealed jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. The texture will thicken as it sits.
I do not recommend freezing chia pudding as the texture can become watery and uneven once thawed.
