- 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup (40 g) chia seeds
- 1 cup (150 g) raspberries
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (6 g) lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
- Gather a spacious, sealable container to craft this vibrant chia seed pudding, ensuring ample room for ingredient integration and mixing.
- Pour the creamy Greek yogurt and silky coconut milk into the container, creating a luxurious base for the dessert.
- Sprinkle the chia seeds evenly across the liquid mixture, whisking thoroughly to prevent seed clumping and ensure uniform distribution.

- Gently fold in the raspberries, carefully crushing them to release their vivid crimson juices and infuse the pudding with natural sweetness.
- Drizzle honey throughout the mixture, stirring delicately to create a harmonious blend of flavors and achieve a balanced sweetness.
- Secure the container’s lid tightly and refrigerate overnight, allowing the chia seeds to slowly absorb the liquid and transform into a creamy, luxurious pudding.
- After chilling, remove from refrigerator and give the pudding a thorough stir to redistribute the ingredients and achieve a consistent texture.
- Serve in individual bowls, garnishing with additional fresh raspberries and a gentle honey drizzle for an elegant final touch.
