    This raspberry chia seed pudding has a delicious, rich, sweet taste that is bursting with fresh raspberry flavour. It is smooth and creamy with just a little extra thickness and texture from the raspberries and chia seeds.

    Key ingredients and substitutions:

    The ingredients needed to make a raspberry chia seed pudding separated into small bowls.
    • Raspberries - either fresh or frozen raspberries can be used to make this healthy raspberry pudding.
    • Coconut milk - I recommend using full fat coconut milk for the most rich and creamy chia pudding. If you can't have coconut I would use cashew milk instead.
    • Honey or maple syrup - either of these natural sweeteners can be used to make this pudding. If you are vegan be sure to use maple syrup.
    • Chia seeds - you can use either white or black chia seeds to make this raspberry chia seed pudding.

    How to make this recipe:

    Step one:

    First, add all the chia pudding ingredients, except the chia seeds, to a pot and place it on the stove on medium heat. Allow the ingredients to come to a boil.

    Step three:

    Now turn down the heat and let the ingredients simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to break apart the raspberries.

    Tips and variations:

    • You can use either fresh or frozen raspberries to make this raspberry pudding - if you use frozen raspberries it will just take a few extra minutes to cook.
    • If you can't have coconut milk I would use cashew milk instead.
    • If you are meal prepping feel free to make a double or triple batch.
    • Turn this into chocolate raspberry chia pudding by adding some chocolate chips!

    How to serve:

    This pudding is delicious served as is, but feel free to top it with chocolate chips, shredded coconut, more fresh raspberries or other fruit or even chopped nuts or seeds. Chia pudding is normally eaten cold but you could also heat it before serving if you prefer warm chia pudding.

    How to store:

    Store any leftover chia pudding in the fridge in an airtight container or jar for up to 5 days. It will thicken the longer it sits so feel free to stir in a bit more coconut milk before serving.

    Chia pudding also freezes really well.

      I am SO sorry to hear about the iCloud fiasco! I had no idea deleting photos from iCloud would also delete from your computer! That's insane! Sounds like a good reason to enjoy more of this awesome chia pudding you created! I can't wait to try it! But seriously, I hope you're able to quickly get those photos re-shot and that your new system will keep everything safely backed up! xoxo

      What other nut would use substitute for cashew on the crumble, on AIP so avoid cashews, would almond, walnut, brazil or macadamia work?

        Hey Justin! So the AIP doesn't allow any nuts or seeds so this recipe is probably not a great option for you. I also have not tried the recipe with any other variations than what has been written so I am not sure if anything else would work. I leave substitutions to a readers direction as any modification to a recipe I cannot be responsible for.
