Description
Strawberry chia pudding is a creamy, refreshing make-ahead breakfast or snack made with chia seeds, fresh strawberries, and milk. This simple recipe creates a naturally sweet pudding packed with fiber, protein, and bright berry flavor.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/3 cup fresh strawberries, mashed
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: sliced strawberries, granola, coconut flakes, or yogurt
Instructions
1. Add chia seeds to a small jar or bowl.
2. Pour in the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
3. Stir well until the chia seeds distribute evenly.
4. Add the mashed strawberries and mix again.
5. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. Stir the pudding before serving and add fresh strawberries or toppings if desired.
Notes
Stir the mixture again after 10 minutes to prevent chia seeds from clumping.
Use ripe strawberries for the sweetest flavor.
Plant-based milk such as almond, coconut, or oat milk works well.
You can blend the strawberries with milk first for a smoother pudding texture.
