Instructions:
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve.
- In a small pot, combine the rinsed quinoa with 1/2 cup of water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, chia seeds, and milk. Stir well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Stir in the maple syrup. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding a bit more if desired.
- Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to mash them too much. You want to maintain some whole pieces for texture and visual appeal.
- Transfer the mixture to individual serving pots or jars, filling them to about three-quarters full.
- Cover the pots or jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- In the morning, give the mixture a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Top with a few extra fresh raspberries or other desired toppings such as nuts or granola for added crunch.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your nutritious and delicious overnight raspberry, chia, and quinoa pots for breakfast or as a healthy snack!
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries, depending on availability and preference.
- For a creamier texture, consider using almond, coconut, or oat milk instead of regular milk.
- Prepare the pots in mason jars or airtight containers for easy grab-and-go meals.
- Sweeten to taste with extra maple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
- Add a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.
- Top with additional fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds before serving for added crunch and nutrition.
