RECIPE TOPPINGS

I topped this pudding with fresh raspberries, but you could use any fruit you wish. I also love to add pineapple, passionfruit, blueberries, strawberries, mango, shredded apple or even kiwi fruit.

RECIPE SUBSTITUTIONS

Sweeteners - I tend to normally use maple syrup or honey in my chia puddings, but you could easily swap it for brown rice syrup if you wanted. You could also omit the sweetener altogether or try with some stevia. Totally up to you and what your preference is.

Almond Milk - you can swap the almond milk with any other plant based milk like oat milk or coconut milk.
