Chia seeds have gained popularity for good reason. Packed with fiber and numerous health benefits, they have captured the attention of health enthusiasts. Additionally, it is simple to create a delightful treat using these super seeds that will leave you wanting more. I enhanced the benefits of this chia seed pudding recipe by utilizing high-protein almond milk as the base and adding raspberries on top to increase the fiber content to 4 grams per 1/2 cup.

Notes

The nutritional data calculated is estimated values. For example, the almond milk is not a high protein almond milk. Reference your manufacturer container for actual nutritional information. In addition, the toppings and quantity you use will vary as well. I typically create two servings (aka. 1/2 cup serving x 2) from this recipe.

In addition, if berries are not in season or difficult to find, you can always substitute with frozen berries. If using frozen berries, you can always puree the berries and add a layer of pureed fruit to your chia seed pudding. 

Enjoy!
