There are mornings when I want something that feels fresh, light, and still satisfying enough to keep me going until lunch. That is exactly why I love making Raspberry Chia Pudding.
The first time I tried chia pudding, I was a little skeptical. Tiny seeds turning into pudding overnight sounded strange. But once I tasted that creamy texture mixed with sweet raspberries, I was completely convinced.
Now this raspberry chia pudding is one of my favorite make ahead breakfasts. I mix it the night before, place it in the refrigerator, and by morning it is ready to eat.

Creamy raspberry chia pudding made with chia seeds, milk, and fresh raspberries. A healthy make ahead breakfast or snack that is ready when you wake up.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant based)
- ½ cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: granola, coconut flakes, extra berries
Instructions
Step 1: Mash The Raspberries
Place the raspberries in a small bowl and gently mash them with a fork.
You can leave a few pieces whole for texture.
Step 2: Mix The Pudding Base
In a jar or bowl, combine the chia seeds, milk, honey, and vanilla extract.
Stir well so the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Add The Raspberries
Stir the mashed raspberries into the chia mixture.
Mix again so the fruit spreads throughout the pudding.
Step 4: Refrigerate
Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick pudding texture.
Step 5: Serve With Toppings
Before serving, stir the pudding once more.
