TIPS

• Stir Twice: Mixing once, then again after 5 minutes, helps ensure the seeds don’t clump together.

• Chill Time Counts: Letting the pudding rest overnight creates the creamiest texture.

• Use Ripe Raspberries: For the best flavour and natural sweetness.

• Sweeten To Taste: Adjust the maple syrup depending on your preference and raspberry tartness.

• Make It Pretty: Layer with fruit in clear jars for a parfait-style presentation.

VARIATIONS

• Berry Swap: Use strawberries, blueberries or blackberries for a different twist.

• Nut-Free Option: Replace almond milk with oat or coconut milk.

• Add Protein: Mix in a scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder.

• Top It Off: Try shredded coconut, cacao nibs or almond slivers.

• Flavour Boost: Add a splash of almond extract or a pinch of cinnamon.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Refrigeration: Store in a sealed jar or container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

• Freezing: Freeze in individual portions and thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

• Meal Prep: Prepare several jars in advance for quick grab-and-go breakfasts.

• Avoid Soggy Fruit: Add raspberries just before serving to retain their texture and colour.
