Strawberries & Cream Chia Pudding
Next-level chia pudding infused with fresh strawberries for a cloud-like, dreamy, ultra nourishing snack, breakfast, or healthier treat. Just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes prep required!
Servings 5 (~1/2-cup servings)
Ingredients
- 1 (14-oz) can light coconut milk (choose a smooth, creamy brand // or sub other creamy milk of choice // 1 can yields ~1 ¾ cups or 400 ml)
- 1 cup roughly chopped fresh strawberries (or sub thawed frozen)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-3 Tbsp maple syrup (or sub other sweetener of choice to taste)
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
FOR SERVING optional
- Yogurt of choice
- Coconut whipped cream
- Strawberry compote or fresh strawberries
- Crushed graham crackers (vegan and gluten-free as needed)
Instructions
- To a high-speed blender, add coconut milk (or other milk of choice), strawberries, vanilla extract, and the lesser amount of sweetener and blend on high until no strawberry bits remain.
- Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. Then add chia seeds and pulse a few times to combine, scraping down sides as needed.
- Transfer to a sealable container or bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours; ideally overnight. It will thicken and set the longer it chills. If the chia seeds aren't evenly distributing, you can give it another stir after ~30 minutes.
- Serve as is or with a scoop of your favorite yogurt or coconut whipped cream, strawberry compote, and/or crushed graham crackers or granola for an elevated experience.
- Leftovers keep in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days. Not ideal for freezing, but could possibly work as little popsicles. Enjoy!
