Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut milk)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries: Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then mash them lightly with a fork or blend for a smoother texture to release their natural juices and sweetness.
  2. Mix chia seeds and milk: In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds with your choice of milk, stirring well to avoid clumps and ensure an even consistency.
  3. Add sweetener and flavorings: Stir in your sweetener of choice and a splash of vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to infuse the pudding with subtle hints of flavor.
  4. Fold in the strawberries: Gently incorporate the mashed strawberries into the chia seed mixture, distributing the fruit evenly throughout the pudding.
  5. Refrigerate until set: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding.

Notes

  • Soak well: Give your pudding enough time in the fridge to set completely for the best texture.
  • Avoid clumps: Stir vigorously after initial mixing and again after 10 minutes to prevent chia seeds from clumping.
  • Use ripe strawberries: Sweet, ripe berries maximize natural flavor and reduce the need for added sugar.
  • Try different milks: Experiment with various milk types to find a flavor and creaminess you love.
  • Add fresh toppings just before eating: Keeps fruits crisp and crunchy nuts from getting soggy.
