Milk: 1 cup (dairy or plant-based, such as almond, coconut, or oat milk)
Sweetener: Optional – honey, maple syrup, or stevia (to taste)
Optional Add-ins: Vanilla or almond extract for extra flavor
Instructions
Blend the strawberries:
If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them. For frozen strawberries, let them thaw slightly.
Blend the strawberries until you achieve a smooth puree.
Mix chia seeds and milk:
In a bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds and milk of your choice.
Stir thoroughly to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed and to avoid clumping.
Add the strawberry puree:
Pour the strawberry puree into the chia seed and milk mixture.
Stir well until everything is fully combined.
Refrigerate:
Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Stir the mixture after 30 minutes of chilling to prevent the chia seeds from settling at the bottom.
Serve:
Once the pudding has thickened to a creamy consistency, it’s ready to enjoy. Add your favorite toppings for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
Storage: Store the prepared pudding in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For convenience, portion it into single-serving jars.
Adjusting Thickness: If the pudding becomes too thick, stir in a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Toppings and Variations: Top with fresh fruits, granola, nuts, or coconut flakes for added texture. Seasonal fruits like raspberries or mangoes can replace strawberries for a new twist.
