10-Minute Chia Pudding

Servings: 2–3

Allergens: Contains tree nuts (cashews). Do not consume if you are allergic to nuts. If adding almond butter, ensure you are not allergic.

If you’ve been craving a creamy, vibrant, nutrient-packed breakfast that supports your hair, nails, and overall wellness, this raspberry chia seed pudding is it. It’s one of the easiest meal-prep recipes you can make, yet it tastes like something you’d get from a boutique wellness café.

What makes this pudding different?

Instead of just mixing raspberries into chia seeds, you’re blending them with homemade cashew milk, a touch of honey, and vanilla to create a silky, pink base that absorbs beautifully into the chia seeds overnight.

Every spoonful is rich, fruity, and naturally nourishing.

Ingredients

• 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)

• 1/4 cup chia seeds

• 1/4 rolled oats

• 1.5 cups homemade cashew milk

• 1/2 cup water

• 2 tsp honey (or maple syrup)

• 1 tsp non-alcoholic vanilla extract

• Pinch of sea salt

Garnish (optional but recommended):

• Fresh raspberries

• Fresh blueberries

• Crushed walnuts

• Hemp seeds

⭐

Instructions

1. Blend the Base

Add the raspberries, homemade cashew milk, honey, vanilla, salt, and water into your blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2. Add the Chia Seeds

Pour the blended mixture into a bowl or jar and whisk in the chia seeds. Make sure they’re evenly distributed so the pudding sets properly.

3. Refrigerate

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture. The chia seeds will expand and create a thick, velvety pudding.

4. Serve & Garnish

Top with berries, crushed walnuts, hemp seeds, or anything else you love. Enjoy chilled.

⭐

Optional: Add Almond Butter (Only if You’re Not Allergic)

For extra creaminess and protein, add 1 tablespoon of almond butter to the blender step.

This makes the pudding richer and adds healthy fats—but only do this if you know you’re not allergic to almonds or tree nuts.
