Ingredients
Primary Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries (fresh or frozen, plus more for serving)
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based alternative)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- ½ cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the strawberries, milk, honey, and vanilla bean paste in a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and thick, resembling a smoothie texture.
- Mix in Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly. Let the mixture settle for 2-3 minutes, then stir again carefully to prevent clumps and ensure the chia seeds are evenly suspended.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or until it has thickened to a creamy consistency.
- Serve: Divide the pudding into four servings. Garnish with additional fresh strawberries on top if desired and serve chilled.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk, including almond, coconut, or oat milk, to make this recipe dairy-free or vegan.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste preferences.
- For a thicker pudding, let it chill overnight in the refrigerator.
- Stir the pudding once or twice during the first hour of chilling to prevent chia seeds from settling at the bottom.
- This pudding keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
