Ingredients
  

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 cup almond milk (or your choice of milk)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ripe peach, diced

1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or thawed frozen)

Toasted almonds or granola (for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Pudding:

    - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

      - Use a whisk to thoroughly mix the ingredients until the chia seeds are fully incorporated and evenly dispersed in the liquid.

        Refrigerate:

          - Once the mixture is well combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight mason jar. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until the mixture transforms into a thick, pudding-like consistency.

            Prepare the Fruit:

              - While the chia pudding is setting, rinse the raspberries under cool water, then drain. Slice the ripe peach into thin, bite-sized wedges. If using frozen raspberries, allow them to thaw slightly at room temperature in a bowl.

                Assemble the Pudding:

                  - After the chia pudding has thickened, give it a quick stir to mix it up. In a serving glass or bowl, create layers: start with a portion of chia pudding, followed by a layer of diced peaches, then a layer of raspberries. Repeat the layering process until all components are used up, finishing with a layer of chia pudding on top.

                    Garnish:

                      - To add texture and flavor, generously sprinkle toasted almonds or granola over the top of the assembled pudding. For an extra touch of color and freshness, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves.

                        Serve and Enjoy:

                          - Enjoy your refreshing Peach Melba Chia Pudding immediately for a delightful treat, or cover and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for a nutritious breakfast or snack on the go!
