I’ve been a gut health dietitian for a loooooong time, so it makes me happy that you like chia puddings. Chia seeds are packed with fiber and so, so good for your gut. But I’ll be totally honest, I personally have a bit of a texture thing about jelly textures. I can’t even bite into a super ripe banana!!
So my fave way to eat chia puddings is actually a blended chia pudding. Because I did grow up with a ton of pudding cups in my lunch box and will crush a yummy pudding, any day of the week. Case in point: my peanut butter blended chia pudding is a forever staple in this house.
If you’re looking for a naturally vegan and gluten free meal prep breakfast that takes less than ten minutes of hands on time, one packed with a whopping 15 grams fibre, this creamy raspberry chia pudding is IT. It makes two servings, it’s easy to double and it tastes so good, it will make you excited for breakfast. You could even break it into four snack-sized servings too.

A better way of making raspberry blended chia pudding
I’m super proud of this raspberry chia pudding because it was actually kind of hard to get right. It’s always the recipes I think will be “easy” that give me the most trouble, despite being a recipe developer for over a decade!


My first couple of attempts tasted straight up weird. And somehow, not like raspberries at all – despite using a good amount of raspberries! And as I was staring at my latest failed attempt, I had a brainstorm: what if I did it fruit on the bottom style? BINGO.
The raspberry flavour was so juicy and tart and balanced the creamy vanilla base so perfectly. There’s no yogurt, just your favourite milk (I use soy for protein!) and a ton of fresh or frozen raspberries.

I’ve made this using frozen mixed berries on the bottom as raspberries alone aren’t easy to find. I’ve added 3 tbsp peanut butter powder (since I’m a peanut freak). I divided into 3 servings so that I can top with some meusli, roasted pumpkin seeds and chopped walnuts. It’s all about the crunch factor for me
ooh yum, yes, I agree…a little crunch really makes it! I love that you’re using this as a base for a bowl, like smoothie bowl style.
Hi everyone. This recipe is next on my list from Desiree. Will have to wait till kitchen reno is complete but just want to say I have made so many of Desiree’s recipes and they have all been phenomenal. Simple and so healthy. The perfect match. Thank you Desiree for all your time and effort.
Aw, thank you Karen!
This recipe is easy and yummy – made it again for breakfast today. It’s raspberry season here in Germany and they are so good.
Oh yay!! Fresh local raspberries are such a treat.
Im definitely going to try the chia pudding. Yum 😋 Thank you for all you do.
Thank you John!
I’m not a big maple syrup fan, but the rest of the ingredients are regular staples in my diet. Any suggestions for a good substitution?
You really just need a sweetener, so you could even do a bit of sugar if that’s what you prefer??
I made. the recipe mine did not become pudding like.What did I do wrong…how can I. Fix this..
Hi Barbara,
This is definitely not a thick pudding, it’s looser in texture because of all the juicy fruit. How long did you leave it to set?
Made this and loved it! So easy to make and love the fruit on the bottom raspberry taste!
So glad you like the chia pudding, Karen! Thank you for taking the time to leave a rating and review, it really helps 🙂
Absolutely delicious! I enjoyed it as an evening snack, the raspberry flavor was incredible! Also, I used an immersion blender with excellent results. This recipe is a keeper, thank you!
Oh, that’s so good to hear that it worked well with an immersion blender, Jinni! I am sure others will be glad to know.
Could I substitute strawberry preserves for the raspberry?
Hi Lindsay,
Yes, absolutely! I might even recommend in that case that you simply prepare the vanilla chia base and then stir in preserves to taste when you enjoy them. The only key is a deeply flavourful berry base. Let me know how it goes, as I’m sure others would be keen to try the swap too!
Thanks Desiree! Have you tried rhubard in this pudding recipe before? I will let you know about the strawberry preserve/jam sub
I have not…but the vanilla chia base is quite good and I suspect that it would be delicious with any juicy, compote-y fruit. I have a rhubarb ginger compote on the blog that I think would definitely work!
Can we add protein powder to this? Looks amazing!!
Hi Jen,
Yes, this one should do well with a nice vanilla protein…let me know how it goes!
Do you not let the chia seeds absorb the moisture first?
Thanks!
Not necessary! The chia will hydrate beautifully as it sits, and that will thicken up the pudding.
