Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons honey until well combined. Stir in 1/3 cup chia seeds until evenly distributed.
Step 2: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumping. The mixture will thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
Step 3: Once set, stir the pudding gently to break up any clumps. Divide the pudding into 4 serving glasses or bowls.
Step 4: Top each serving with a mix of 1/2 cup sliced strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, and 1/2 cup raspberries. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Step 5: Serve chilled as a light, nutritious dessert.
