    Chia pudding is one of those weird trendy health foods that I think is TOTALLY gonna catch on any minute now.Though it still has plenty of skeptics, it has definitely made a buzz in the media. Is it a healthy dessert or a decadent snack? Is it your long lost chia pet or the easiest way to boost your fiber intake since Metamucil? Maybe it's neither. Maybe it's both.

    Regardless of whether you think chia pudding is so last season or totally rad, I can promise that you'll enjoy every spoonful of this play on pudding. Why? Because it's all blended up to perfection, thus eliminating the semi-strange tapioca texture that chia seedies take on when they come into contact with liquid.

    Creamy Raspberry Chia Pudding

    I used almond butter in this recipe to take it up another notch or three in the creaminess department, but cashew butter would be fantabulous here, too. Feel free to call this treat guilt-free since it's sweetened with dates rather than the three million tablespoons of white sugar that typical puddings thrive upon. If super sweet pudding is your thang, feel free to add some pure maple syrup to taste.

    Oh and I think a dash of cacao powder would take this over the mooooon. After all, I'm never one to say no to chocolate.

    Did you know that two tablespoons of chia seeds has a whopping ten grams of fiber (a third of the daily value), nearly five grams of plant-powered protein, 12% of the daily value or iron, and 17% of the daily value of calcium? I'm telling you, plants are the coolest. Chia seeds are also a fab source of magnesium, a mineral that most people are deficient in since alcohol, stress, and caffeine deplete it.

    While unsweetened vanilla almond milk is typically my "milk" of choice for smoothies and baking and whatnot, I kind of sort of fell head over heels in love with Almond Breeze's new Hint of Honey line. IT ACTUALLY TASTES LIKE HONEY. And kind of like a graham cracker. They should make s'mores-flavored almond milk.

    Yesssss.

    I'd be lying if I said I didn't take a swig straight from the carton. Does that make me not a lady? Are we judging me right now?

    Judge away. Then make this.

    Description

    A flavorful, creamy chia pudding bursting with fresh raspberry and vanilla flavor.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup Almond Breeze Almond Milk Hint of Honey Vanilla (or sub milk of choice)
    • ⅓ cup chia seeds
    • 1 cup fresh raspberries
    • 5 medjool dates, pitted
    • 2 tbsp almond butter
    • ½ tsp vanilla extract

    Instructions

    1. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk and chia seeds. Add in raspberries, dates, almond butter, and vanilla. It doesn't need to be mixed together well since it will be blended later.
    2. Cover mixture and place in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
    3. Dump mixture into a blender (I used my Nutribullet). Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a tablespoon more milk if necessary.
    4. Top with more fresh raspberries and shredded coconut if desired.

      Wait so you are not supposed to drink almond milk out of the carton?? Cause I do that all the time haha. I am a weird one and love the texture of chia puddings, but never thought of blending it. Will have to try this!
