Ingredients
Instructions
1. Combine ingredients in a blender: Add the frozen raspberries, chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, optional almond extract, and a pinch of salt into a high-speed blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is entirely smooth and no visible chia seeds remain. You want a consistent, creamy texture.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness: Once blended, taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more maple syrup and blend for another 10-15 seconds to incorporate.
4. Pour into serving containers: Divide the blended chia pudding evenly into individual serving jars or a larger airtight container. Small mason jars work wonderfully for meal prep.
5. Chill thoroughly: Cover the containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling time is crucial for the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and for the pudding to set into its creamy consistency.
6. Stir before serving: Before enjoying, give the pudding a quick stir. If it seems too thick, you can add a splash of almond milk and stir until it reaches your desired consistency.
