Tips to Make Raspberry Chia Pudding

For a richer flavor, let the pudding sit longer, up to overnight, so the chia seeds soak up more liquid.
If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the raspberry mixture before adding it to the chia seeds.
Feel free to experiment with different fruits like strawberries or blueberries.

Variation

You can easily swap the raspberries for other fruit options, such as mango or banana. Each fruit will bring its own unique flavor and sweetness to the pudding.
