Description

This Strawberry Chia Pudding recipe is a refreshing and healthy treat perfect for breakfast or a snack. Made with fresh strawberries, chia seeds, almond milk, and creamy Greek yogurt, it offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and infused with vanilla, it’s easy to prepare and requires only a few ingredients. The pudding sets overnight in the refrigerator, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a smooth, satisfying texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 16 ounces fresh strawberries, plus more for topping
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt

Instructions

  1. Blend Strawberries: In a blender, add the fresh strawberries and blend until smooth to create a strawberry puree that will serve as the base flavor for the pudding.
  2. Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well combined and evenly sweetened.
  3. Add Chia Seeds: Stir the chia seeds into the almond milk mixture until they are evenly distributed to ensure consistent pudding texture.
  4. Combine Puree and Mixture: Gently fold the strawberry puree into the almond milk and chia seed mixture, mixing thoroughly for an even flavor throughout.
  5. Portion into Cups: Pour the mixture evenly into serving cups or jars for individual servings.
  6. Add Yogurt Topping: Spoon the plain Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt on top of each cup to add creaminess and enhance texture.
  7. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and transform into a pudding-like consistency.
  8. Serve: Once set, top with extra fresh strawberries and enjoy a delicious, healthy pudding.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as coconut, soy, or dairy milk.
  • For a sweeter pudding, increase the maple syrup or add honey.
  • If you prefer a smoother pudding, you can blend the chia seeds with the liquid first before folding in the strawberry puree.
  • This pudding can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
  • Use vanilla yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt for added sweetness and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of chia seeds for thicker or thinner pudding as desired.
  • Keep the pudding refrigerated and consume within 3 days for freshness.
