About this recipe:
Our overnight raspberry chia pudding hits all of our favorite boxes: simple, nutritional, and customizable. Some of our favorite toppings are cacao nibs and a sprig of mint!Ingredients
For the Pudding:
- 5 oz. almond milk
- 2½ TBSP. chia seeds
- ½ tsp. ground cardamom
- 1-2 TBSPS. honey
- pinch of ground cinnamon
- ¼ rounded cup fresh raspberries (or other berries)
For the Toppings:
- Mixed fresh (or defrosted) berries
- Toasted almonds, chopped
- Sliced bananas
- Coconut flakes or chips
- Drizzle of Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar
- Granola
- sprig of fresh mint (optional)
Directions
For the Pudding:
- In a small jar, combine the milk, the chia seeds, cardamom, honey and cinnamon. Whisk well to combine. Add the raspberries and mix again. Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight). At this point, the chia seeds should have absorbed enough moisture to achieve a pudding-like consistency. Within the first hour, uncover the bowl and give it a good stir to break up any clumps of chia that might form.
- The next morning, or when you are ready to eat, stir once again. If it looks too thick, add a splash of almond milk.
- To serve, top with any of the suggested toppings and drizzle with some Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar. Eat at once, or, pack it to bring to work or school.
