Today I have for you a quick and easy Raspberry and Banana Chia Pudding recipe that is perfect for a quick breakfast or even a healthy snack.
It’s made with only 4 clean ingredients and is naturally sweetened with fresh bananas and raspberries.
I will often buy bags of frozen organic raspberries to add to my smoothies but there’s just something about fresh raspberries that’s hard to beat.
You can make this the night before and have a quick, nutritious breakfast waiting for you in the morning, or mix it together for a snack during the day in just a matter of minutes.

What size is this mason jar? I’m trying to figure out for a school snack. Thanks 🙂
Hi there Sydney! They are the tiny 8 ounce half pint mason jars and can order some online from Amazon.
Thanks for the question and I hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂
I am going to prepare this for breakfast tomorrow! Thank you for the idea Karielyn 🙂

Hi Tasha! Oh yay…I hope you enjoy it! I don’t like my chia puddings too sweet so I found the banana was enough for me but feel free to add a little extra unrefined sweetener if you need more 😉
It tasted great to me 🙂
Hi Tasha! Yay! I’m so glad to hear that 😉
This sounds wonderful! Would it work to make it the night before, or would the ingredients separate and not hold up well that long? Also how long would it be good? Thanks!!
Hi there Chrystalyn! Yes, you sure can make it the night before! The longer you leave it in the refrigerator, the thicker the pudding will be. So you may have to give it a stir in the morning and/or add a touch more milk if it’s too thick.
But I make mine the night before very often and love to wake up to it already made and waiting for me in the morning!
Thanks for the question and I hope you enjoy it 😉
