# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You can prep everything the night before and wake up to breakfast waiting for you
  • The raspberry swirl makes it fancy enough to serve for dessert, not just breakfast
02 -
  • The second whisk after 10 minutes is what keeps your pudding smooth instead of full of weird gelatinous clumps
  • Frozen raspberries release more juice, so your swirl will be thinner but just as delicious
03 -
  • Whisk vigorously when you first combine the ingredients to prevent any chia seeds from clumping together
  • Use a fork to mash the raspberries, it breaks them down better than a spoon and catches more of the fruit
