Ingredients

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ripe peach, diced

1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)

Toasted almonds or granola (for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Chia Pudding:

- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

- Whisk the mixture well until the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the liquid.

Refrigerate:

- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a mason jar, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

Prepare the Fruit:

- While the chia pudding is setting, rinse the raspberries and slice the peach into thin wedges. If you’re using frozen raspberries, you can slightly thaw them by placing them in a bowl at room temperature.

Assemble the Pudding:

- Once the chia pudding has thickened, give it a good stir. Layer a serving glass or bowl with a portion of the chia pudding, followed by a layer of diced peaches and a layer of raspberries. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with chia pudding on top.

Garnish:

- Sprinkle toasted almonds or granola on top for added crunch. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Serve and Enjoy:

- Enjoy your Peach Melba Chia Pudding immediately, or cover and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for a healthy breakfast or snack!
