Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Mash fresh raspberries in a medium bowl with a fork. Add 1 tablespoon of pomegranate juice and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, mixing until a juicy, vibrant blend is formed.
  2. Spoon the prepared raspberry mixture evenly into individual serving glasses or bowls, filling them about halfway. Press down gently to create a solid base.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously and let sit for about 15 minutes until thickened.
  4. Pour the thickened chia mixture gently over the raspberry base in each glass, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours.
  5. Remove from the refrigerator and top with fresh pomegranate seeds, whole raspberries, and mint leaves before serving.
