Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding
Creamy Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding made with fresh strawberries, yogurt, milk, and chia seeds. Easy to prepare, naturally nutritious, and perfect for breakfast or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 12 –16 ounces fresh strawberries roughly chopped (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based, such as oat milk
- 1 cup plain yogurt dairy or plant-based
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- ½ cup chia seeds
- Fresh chopped strawberries for garnish optional
- Whipped cream for serving optional
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to a medium mixing bowl.
- Blend with an immersion blender until completely smooth. Alternatively, blend everything in a standard blender and pour into a bowl.
- Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding thickens into a creamy pudding consistency.
- Stir before serving.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or your favorite fruit if desired.
Notes
- Replace strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, peaches, mangoes, or mixed berries.
- Greek yogurt creates a thicker, higher-protein pudding.
- Coconut yogurt makes an excellent dairy-free option.
- Top with sliced bananas, toasted coconut, chopped nuts, or dark chocolate shavings.
- This recipe can easily be doubled for weekly meal prep.
