Food Photography: Red Raspberry Mint Chia Seed Pudding

Intro

Today is Christmas and Red Raspberry Chia pudding with mint seemed like a lovely recipe share since the colors of Christmas are found in this lovely dish.

I remember hearing how good chia seed pudding was, long before I tried it and I was very happy when I did. The taste when made is almost better than great-grandma's rice pudding. I may share that with you at some point in the future.

I found this delicious pudding walking around Manhattan one day and I was attracted to the place since Number One it specialized in superfood and Number Two the name of the place was in French.

La Pain Quotidien

Come to find out the bakery was first opened in Brussels in 1990 and the New York flagship restaurant was opened in 1997 on Madison Avenue. The very place I found on my walk around the City. If you are ever walking around New York City, I would highly recommend the full menu at this location.

This looks awesome and I bet it tastes even better.
And I'm not that much of a sweet tooth, so I guess that tells you enough ;)

Thanks for sharing!

Hi! It tastes amazing and believe it or not it's not sweet much at all. It's more of a non-sweet pudding. Have you tried Chia pudding before? It's more of a natural tasting, almost like custard without much sugar. It's very healthy and the flavor is Raspberry puree and the Mint. You may like it. :)

Thank you for commenting!

I see. I've had desserts with chia seeds, but never chia pudding.
Anyhow, it sounds great. Even better now I know that is doesn't taste (very) sweet.

Yes, you might like it. A very good superfood.
