Description
This Strawberry Chia Pudding is a refreshing, nutrient-dense treat that’s as delicious as it is good for you. With just a few simple ingredients, it transforms into a creamy, naturally sweet pudding packed with fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3s. Ideal for breakfast, snack time,
Ingredients
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Extra strawberries for topping (optional)
Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl or mason jar, combine chia seeds, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to prevent clumping.
Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes, then stir again to evenly distribute the seeds.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Just before serving, stir in the chopped strawberries or layer them on top.
Garnish with extra strawberries or your favorite toppings like granola, coconut flakes, or a dollop of yogurt.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
For a smoother texture, blend the entire mixture before refrigerating.
You can substitute almond milk with coconut, oat, or dairy milk.
Great for meal prep—store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Make it vegan by using maple syrup instead of honey.
Try topping with nuts or seeds for added crunch and protein.
For a lower-sugar option, skip the sweetener and rely on the strawberries’ natural sweetness.
