6 Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding

🫐 Ingredients

Chia seeds: The base of this recipe, chia seeds are small seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant that form a gel-like consistency when mixed with liquids
Plant-based milk: The liquid that mixes with the seeds to make the pudding, we’re using plant-based creamy oat milk (but any milk will do)
Strawberries: The fruit star of this recipe, strawberries add a touch of tart and sweet
Nuts or seeds: For a crunch factor we’re adding your choice of nuts or seeds (I used pumpkin seeds in this recipe)
Flavorings: A touch of vanilla extract and maple syrup add a slightly warm and sweet flavor to the pudding
Recommended tools: small mixing bowls, small glasses or jars for single-servings of pudding

🥣 How to make (step-by-step photos)

1️⃣ Step One: Blend strawberries

Add strawberries to a blender and blend until they become pureed.

Alternatively you can also place strawberries in a bowl and use a handheld immersion blender to puree.

2️⃣ Step Two: Make chia pudding

Add strawberry puree, chia seeds, plant-based milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine. Let sit 10 minutes, then stir again to mix well.

Then cover and place in the refrigerator for at least two hours to let the pudding thicken, ideally overnight.

2️⃣ Step Two: Garnish and serve

To build the pudding cups, add the chilled and thickened strawberry chia pudding into small glasses or jars, leaving about 1/2 inch left at the top.

Then add sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds.

🧊 How to store

Refrigerator storage: Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezer storage: It is possible to freeze chia pudding, but I recommend freezing in single servings. To freeze, add to airtight containers and freeze up to two months. To thaw, remove from freezer into refrigerator for 24 hours and then enjoy within 2-3 days.
