Ingredients
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)

- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- ½ cup fresh or thawed frozen raspberries (mashed)

Instructions
In a medium bowl or jar, mash the raspberries with a fork. Add lemon juice if using.
- Stir in plant-based milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Mix well to combine and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir again to prevent clumping.

- Before serving, stir well and adjust consistency with more milk if needed.
- Serve topped with fresh raspberries, granola, coconut flakes, or nuts.
Notes
- For a thicker pudding, use less milk or add extra chia seeds.
- Blend mixture before chilling for a smooth, mousse-like consistency.
- Use coconut milk for a richer, creamier version.
