Ingredients
  

Base
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries lightly mashed plus extra for topping
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk or your preferred milk
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice to brighten the flavor
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract for a soft, sweet finish
Optional Toppings
  • granola for crunch
  • additional fresh raspberries

Method
 

  1. In a medium jar or bowl, mix the mashed raspberries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla. Stir well to blend everything evenly.
  2. Allow the mixture to rest for about five minutes to let the chia seeds start absorbing the liquid.
  3. After five minutes, stir the mixture again to break up clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
  4. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight, to let it set.
  5. When ready to eat, give it a stir. Top with extra raspberries and a sprinkle of granola if desired. Enjoy cold.

Notes

Use ripe raspberries for a bolder flavor. Adjust milk type for desired creaminess coconut milk makes it richer, while almond milk keeps it light. Add a scoop of protein powder or blended cottage cheese for extra protein. Frozen raspberries work too; just add extra chia seeds to absorb liquid.
