Ingredients

Raspberry Jam

12 oz frozen raspberries
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Chia Seed Pudding

2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1½ cups milk
½ cup chia seeds
¼ cup maple syrup
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a small to medium sized saucepan, add the frozen raspberries and granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer at medium heat. Stir occasionally until the raspberries have reduced to a thicker consistency, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the jam and allow it to cool fully.
To make the chia seed pudding, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to break up any clumps of chia seeds. Let it sit in the fridge so that the chia seeds can absorb the milk/yogurt mixture and set for at least one hour up to overnight (though it can be made a few days in advance).
In a jar or Tupperware, layer the fully cooled raspberry jam and chia seed pudding. This can be done before or after the pudding has been left to set. The benefit of layering the pudding and jam after the pudding has set is that you can give the pudding an additional stir to break up any remaining clumps of chia seeds without mixing it into the jam.
Top with fresh berries, granola, or nuts. Store any leftovers in the fridge. It is best within the first 48 hours, but it will last 4-5 days.

Notes

Greek Yogurt: Use plain Greek yogurt. I’ve made this with both whole milk yogurt and 0% fat yogurt, and both were quite good.

Milk: You can use whole milk or low fat milk.

Chia Seeds: These can often be found in a small resealable package, sometimes near the nuts and seeds, sometimes near the baking aisle, or at Whole Foods near the vitamin aisle.
