Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

• ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

• 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (optional)

• ¼ cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for topping)

• 2 tablespoons yogurt (optional)

Toppings (optional):

• Fresh raspberries

• Shredded coconut or granola

Instructions:

1. In a bowl or jar, mash the raspberries with a fork until slightly broken down but still chunky.

2. Add chia seeds, milk, protein powder (if using), and yogurt (if using) to the mashed raspberries. Mix thoroughly.

3. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to begin absorbing the liquid.

4. Stir again to remove clumps, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

5. Top with extra raspberries, coconut, or granola before serving.

Tips:

• Stirring after 5 minutes and again before chilling helps create the smoothest texture.

• Add a touch of honey or maple syrup if you want a sweeter flavor.

• You can double or triple the recipe for meal prep.
