Chia seed pudding is a great dessert, it’s easy to make, free of refined sugar and delicious. Plus it’s kind of fun! It has a texture that’s similar to tapioca and seeing as chia seeds don’t have a strong flavour, the options to flavour the pudding are endless.
This raspberry and coconut pudding is wonderfully refreshing and the raspberry gives it a natural sweetness. The chia seeds plump up as they absorb the liquid and become almost gelatinous in texture. Chia seeds are native to Central America and are loaded with omega-3. I buy mine online or at the health food store.
This pudding is perfect to eat on a hot day when you feel like something sweet but also healthy!
- 2 cups almond milk
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds

Dessert? We quite often eat chia pudding for brekkie. It’s our cereal.
I hadn’t thought about blending berries in first. Brilliant idea.
