Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) chia seeds
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 milliliters) honey, maple syrup, or agave
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Toppings:
- Fresh strawberries
- Granola
- Shredded coconut
- Nuts
Instructions
- Transform ripe strawberries into a silky, vibrant puree using a blender, ensuring a smooth consistency without any lumps.
- Whisk chia seeds into your preferred milk, stirring continuously to prevent seeds from clustering and creating an even texture.
- Gently fold the strawberry puree into the chia seed mixture, creating a marbled, blush-colored liquid that will develop into a creamy pudding.
- Cover the mixture and place in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb liquid and transform into a thick, gelatinous pudding.
- Remove from refrigerator and give the pudding a thorough stir to redistribute any settled ingredients and ensure a uniform consistency.
- Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, a sprinkle of additional chia seeds, or a drizzle of honey for added visual appeal and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best natural flavor and vibrant color.
- Opt for unsweetened plant-based milk like almond or coconut for a lighter, dairy-free version.
- Adjust sweetness by adding honey, maple syrup, or stevia to suit personal taste preferences.
- Prepare pudding in individual jars for easy portion control and quick grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
