This raspberry chia pudding with almonds is a tasty recipe friendly to most diets. The great thing about it is that you can make the preparations the previous night and enjoy it for a quick grab ‘n go breakfast!
Chia seeds are an edible seed from the Salvia hispanics plant of the mint family. They uniquely absorb up to twelve times their weight in liquid and when soaked create a gel like texture. Their hydrophilic property make for fun real food creations like this pudding.
These tiny powerhouses are full of healthy omega-3 fats, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and some protein. As a mom, I love that chia seeds in recipes like this pudding provide my kids with lasting energy and a boost of hydration — perfect for our primal lifestyle. Chia seeds are great for kids.
Chia pudding is a great way to encourage your kids to participate in the kitchen. Even little helpers can measure and stir the seeds, milk, and sweetener together. Kids love to help prepare it in the evening and check out the change in the morning.
I love the taste combination of raspberries and almonds, and the texture addition of the hemp seeds, but you and your family can also be creative with toppings.
