Description

This creamy lemon chia pudding with raspberries is a refreshing, healthy, and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. Combining Greek yogurt, citrusy lemon zest and juice, chia seeds, and sweet maple syrup, it delivers a perfect balance of tart and sweet flavors with a delightful creamy texture. Ideal for a quick no-cook, nutrient-packed treat, this pudding benefits from overnight chilling to let the chia seeds expand and thicken the mixture, making it ready to enjoy anytime.

Ingredients

Pudding Base

  • 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup almond or coconut milk
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (to taste, depending on whether your yogurt is sweetened)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (the juice from about 1 lemon)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (2 tablespoons per jar)

Toppings

  • Fresh raspberries, for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients and Yogurt: In two small jars or bowls, evenly divide the Greek yogurt, almond or coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla flavoring, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk these ingredients together using a small whisk or a fork until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  2. Add Chia Seeds and Mix: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly to ensure they are evenly incorporated into the mixture. Cover each jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap.
  3. Refrigerate to Set: Place the jars or bowls in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding to a creamy consistency.
  4. Serve with Toppings: Once set, top the pudding with fresh raspberries or any other favorite toppings of your choice before serving.

Notes

  • Use plain or vanilla Greek yogurt based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Maple syrup amount can be adjusted depending on the sweetness of the yogurt used.
  • For a dairy-free option, ensure to use plant-based yogurt and milk.
  • Letting the pudding chill overnight yields the best texture.
  • Other toppings such as sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or additional fresh berries can complement the dish well.
