Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes (or overnight)
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
- 2 cups milk (any kind – dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or more, to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chia seeds
To Serve (Optional):
- Greek yogurt
- Granola
- Fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine strawberries, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Mix with Chia Seeds: Add chia seeds to a jar or container. Pour the blended mixture over the chia seeds and stir well to evenly distribute.
- Chill and Set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stir the pudding before serving. Layer with Greek yogurt, granola, and fresh strawberries for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Sweetness: Adjust maple syrup to your taste, especially if your strawberries are tart.
- Milk Options: Almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk all work great.
- Texture Tip: Stir the mixture 10–15 minutes after initial mixing to prevent clumping.
- Make Ahead: Store in individual jars for a grab-and-go breakfast up to 4 days.
- Add Protein: Boost protein by mixing Greek yogurt directly into the pudding or adding protein powder to the blend.
