Lemon Raspberry Chia Seed Pudding
Lemon Raspberry Chia Seed Pudding
One of the things that I love the most about living in Colorado is that we get to experience all four seasons. Although, we usually get one or two big snowstorms in the spring. I love winter and snow but I am ready for warmer weather now. It’s been making me crave bright, springy flavors like lemon and raspberry. This chia seed pudding was just what I needed.
If you have never made chia seed pudding before, make sure you prep ahead a little bit. The chia seeds are what give it a thick, creamy pudding like texture. It takes some time for them to absorb some liquid and plump up. I would recommend letting it set at least an hour but I usually do it overnight. This dairy free version uses unsweetened almond milk and full fat coconut milk, it gives it just the right consistency.
