Friends, welcome to the land where you can float on strawberry dream clouds all day long. This chia pudding is next level but super easy (5 ingredients!). Just mix strawberries in your favorite milk, sweeten to taste, add chia seeds, and chillllll.
The result is heavenly, fiber rich a snack or breakfast that tastes like strawberries and cream but is more complex — mmmmmm. Let us show you how it’s done!
This EASY strawberry chia pudding starts with making a big, rich, naturally sweetened cream strawberry milk! Simply combine fresh strawberries with vanilla extract and canned light coconut milk (or other creamy milk of your choice). Then sweeten to taste with maple syrup (or another liquid sweetener like agave, or stevia if that’s your favorite flavor)!
Then it’s time to be add your chia seeds and hit them just a few times. The goal is to mix with the milk, not separate the seeds, so it only takes a few pulses.
Next, you will be transfer the mixture to a bowl or other container (individual jars work great for meal prep or a party) and let the chia do the thang! After a few hours, it will be thickness thanks to chia seeds that absorb liquid.
A dreamy, creamy chia pudding awaits! If you’re feeling fancy, layering with strawberry compote and yogurt or coconut whipped cream is pretty amazing (and good). And fresh strawberries and crushed graham crackers take it to the next level!
We hope you LOVE this chia pudding! It says:
