Ingredients
  

Chia Pudding
  • 2 cups Milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds fresh
  • 2 cups Strawberries hulled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or honey, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
Optional Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Granola optional
  • 2 tablespoons Sliced Almonds optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Scoop
  • Storage Containers
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds and strawberries until evenly combined. Rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps.
  3. Divide the mixture into containers, leaving room for toppings if using.
  4. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until thick, creamy, and fully set.
  5. Serve chilled. Add a splash of milk for a softer texture and finish with granola or almonds before enjoying.

Notes

For a softer texture, stir in extra milk before serving. Chill longer for a thicker consistency. Freeze individual portions without crunchy toppings and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add toppings just before serving for the best assembly and texture. Customize with blueberries, cocoa, cinnamon, or coconut. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
