Ingredients

Fruit & Dairy Alternatives

  • 1 cup sliced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup almond milk

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Seeds

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the strawberries, coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth. If using frozen strawberries, make sure to let them thaw before blending to ensure even texture.
  2. Mix with Chia Seeds: Pour the blended strawberry milk into a large bowl and whisk in the chia seeds until the mixture begins to thicken slightly, ensuring seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Chill: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the pudding as is or top with your choice of yogurt, fresh strawberries, or other favorite toppings for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • If using frozen strawberries, thaw them before blending for the best texture.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup for different sweetness options.
  • For a thicker pudding, increase the chia seeds to 1/3 cup.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan and can be adapted to gluten-free diets by ensuring all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
