If you're looking for a breakfast that's both delicious and nutritious, look no further than this Coconut Raspberry Chia Pudding. This vibrant recipe takes the classic chia pudding to a whole new level, infusing it with the tropical flavors of coconut and tart raspberries. Packed with fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants, it's a meal that will keep you energized and satisfied all morning long. But don't limit this pudding to just breakfast! It's also a perfect afternoon snack or a guilt-free dessert that will tantalize your taste buds. 


The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. With minimal ingredients and easy preparation, you can whip up a batch of this pudding in just minutes. 

Here's what you'll need:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 cup cashew milk (or any other plant-based milk of your choice)
  • ½ cup canned coconut milk (light or full-fat, both work!)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • ⅓ cup chia seeds
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)
  • Whipped cream (for serving)
  • Extra fresh raspberries for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Get the Coconut Ready: The first step is to prepare the coconut milk. If the canned coconut milk has separated (which is common), give it a good stir to ensure a smooth consistency. 
  2. Combine the Base: In a mason jar or a bowl of your choice, whisk together the coconut milk, cashew milk, and chia seeds. This forms the base of your pudding.
  3. Add the Flavorings: Now comes the fun part! Pour in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and shredded coconut. Give it a good mix to make sure everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. Incorporate the Raspberries: Here's where the magic happens. Add the raspberries to the mixture. Using a fork, gently mash them up slightly within the jar. This will release their vibrant color and flavor, creating a beautiful marbled effect throughout the pudding.
  5. Sweeten to Taste: Depending on your preference and the tartness of your raspberries, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Stir well and taste. You can always adjust the sweetness to your liking.
  6. The All-Important Chill: Cover the jar or bowl tightly with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and develop their signature gel-like texture.
  7. Time to Shine! Once your pudding is beautifully set, it's time to enjoy! Serve it chilled in your serving jar or bowl. Top it off with a dollop of whipped cream and some extra fresh raspberries for a truly decadent presentation.

Tips and Variations:

  • Don't have fresh raspberries? No problem! Frozen raspberries work just as well. In fact, frozen berries can sometimes add a more intense burst of flavor.
  • Not a fan of cashew milk? Feel free to substitute it with any other plant-based milk you enjoy, such as almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk. Each milk will add a slightly different flavor profile, so experiment and find your favorite!
  • Craving a bit more texture? Toast the shredded coconut before adding it to the mixture for a delightful crunch. 
  • Make it vegan! Ensure you use vegan-friendly whipped cream to keep the entire recipe plant-based.
  • Sweet tooth calling? Drizzle a little honey or agave nectar on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
  • Portion it out! Prepare the pudding in individual mason jars for meal prepping or grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week. 

This Coconut Raspberry Chia Pudding is a delicious and healthy way to start your day or satisfy your sweet tooth. With its vibrant colors, refreshing flavors, and incredible ease of preparation, it's sure to become a staple in your recipe repertoire. So, ditch the sugary cereals and processed snacks, and embrace the power of chia seeds, coconut, and raspberries for a breakfast (or snack, or dessert!) that nourishes your body and delights your taste buds.
