Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Topping Ideas:
- Sliced fresh strawberries
- Shredded coconut
- Chopped nuts
- A drizzle of honey
- Granola
Instructions
- Make the strawberry puree: Wash and hull the strawberries, then blend them in a blender or food processor until smooth. You should have about 1 cup of puree.
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the strawberry puree, almond milk, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Let it sit: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Stir the mixture after the first 10-15 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Check consistency: Once the pudding has thickened, stir it a good bit. If it's too thick, add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Divide the pudding into serving bowls or jars, top with fresh strawberry slices and your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- Sweetness: Adjust the sweetener based on the natural sweetness of your strawberries or omit it if you prefer.
- Consistency: If the pudding is too runny after chilling, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
- Milk options: Feel free to use any type of milk, such as cow's milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or soy milk.
With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a vibrant, fruity delight that’s as tasty as it is nutritious.
