Easy To Make Raspberry Chocolate Chia Pudding Recipe

It’s the new year and with that comes new resolutions to eat better, am I right? And typically most of the recipes that are healthier are either hard to make or taste awful. What if I told you I have a simple, tasty recipe to keep you on the straight and narrow? This raspberry chocolate chia pudding is so simple to make and is delicious. In fact it only requires 5 ingredients.

Chia seeds are what give this recipe it’s body (pudding texture), and once they soak over night in liquid they soften and thicken. Chia seeds always reside in my pantry because they are packed with a ton of nutrients (anti-oxidants, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids), are high in bone nutrients, help reduce inflammation and have very few calories. They are whole-grain, generally GMO-free and gluten free. Therefore, I am always putting a handful on as much of my food as I possibly can.

You can use any kind of milk you want for this recipe and I substitute almond milk because it is diary-free, plant-based, doesn’t raise blood sugar and is easier easier on my stomach. But feel free to use any kind you prefer.

The pudding is sweetened with raspberries and a little honey which is a natural sweetener and so much better for you than white sugar. And who doesn’t love a little chocolate? This pudding is perfect for breakfast or as a healthy dessert or snack.

Here’s how to make this heavenly, easy to prepare breakfast/dessert which is gluten-free and anti-inflammatory.
