    This Gluten-Free Vegan Raspberry and Banana Chia Seed Pudding is an easy and healthy recipe made with only 4 clean, real food ingredients. It's the perfect plant-based breakfast or snack and only takes about 5 minutes to prepare!

    Gluten-Free Vegan Raspberry and Banana Chia Seed Pudding

    Here's why this recipe works - my top 3 reasons:

    1. No special equipment needed
    2. Can be prepared in about 5 minutes
    3. Made with only 4 clean, real food ingredients

    No Special Equipment Needed

    You don't need a blender or food processor to make this no-cook recipe.

    In fact, all you need is a glass mason jar with a lid to mix everything in and you can use the same jar as a serving dish!

    Can Be Prepared In About 5 Minutes

    It takes less than 5 minutes to add all the ingredients together and a little more time to let it firm in the refrigerator.

    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 healthy snack during the day in just a matter of minutes!

    Made With Only 4 Clean, Real Food Ingredients

    You'll love how this easy recipe is made with only 4 clean ingredients and is naturally sweetened with fresh bananas and raspberries.

    For example, ingredients such as almond milk, chia seeds, bananas, and raspberries - that's it!

    My healthy plant-based recipe is raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, oil-free, no-cook, no refined sugar, paleo-friendly and Medical Medium compliant.

    Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions For Raspberry and Banana Chia Pudding

    Here are some expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:

    Almond Milk.  I used homemade almond milk but feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk. Another great option is to use Joi Organic Almond Milk made with 100% organic almonds.

    Sweetener.  I found it to be lightly sweet with just the banana and raspberries, but if you prefer it sweeter, just add 1-2 tablespoons of organic maple syrup.

    Mixing Method. You can mix the chia pudding together with two options:

    1. Shaking in a glass mason jar - If you have a glass mason jar, you can add all the ingredients in the jar, seal the lid tightly, then shake it vigorously to mix everything together.
    2. Whisking with a small whisk - Using this method, you can mix the chia pudding in whatever container or bowl you'd like, which is helpful if you don't have a glass mason jar. Simply use a small whisk to mix everything together until well blended.

        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 🙂

        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 😉

      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 😉
