Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 ¾ cups blackberries, raspberries and/or diced mango (fresh or frozen), divided
Chia Pudding Base
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- ½ cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup granola
Instructions
- Prepare the chia pudding base: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until fully incorporated and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Incorporate fruit: Fold in 1 cup of the blackberries, raspberries, and/or diced mango into the chia pudding mixture to infuse fresh berry flavor throughout.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight so the chia seeds can absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like texture.
- Assemble to serve: Once the pudding is set, divide it evenly between two serving containers. Top each with the remaining ¾ cup of fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of granola for crunch.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve chilled as a wholesome breakfast or snack packed with nutrients and vibrant fruit flavors.
Notes
- Using fresh or frozen berries works equally well; if using frozen fruit, thaw before mixing.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar for sweetness.
- For a dairy-free option, replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or omit altogether.
- Adjust the amount of granola according to preference for added crunch.
- Preparation time is minimal but requires an 8-hour refrigeration period for the pudding to set properly.
