# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, gently mashed (save some whole ones for garnish)
02 - 3 tablespoons chia seeds
03 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
04 - 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
05 - 1-2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Optional Toppings

08 - Fresh raspberries for serving
09 - Your favorite granola for crunch

# Instructions:

01 - In a mason jar or bowl, combine the mashed raspberries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla. Give everything a good stir to blend well.
02 - Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes, then stir again thoroughly to break up any chia seed clumps that might have formed.
03 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the chia seeds work their magic and create that perfect pudding texture. You can leave it overnight for an even thicker consistency.
04 - When you're ready to dig in, top with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of granola if you're feeling fancy. Enjoy your nutritious creation!

# Notes:

01 - This pudding is perfect for meal prep - make several jars at once for grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
02 - The longer you let it sit, the thicker it becomes. Some people love it after just 30 minutes, while others prefer the overnight texture.
03 - Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste preferences.
