Strawberry Chia Pudding
Description
Strawberry Chia Pudding combines pureed strawberries mixed with coconut milk, yogurt, and natural sweeteners to form a base that is then thickened with chia seeds. The seeds absorb moisture and expand as the pudding chills for several hours, resulting in a smooth yet textured consistency resembling traditional pudding. Using canned coconut milk adds creaminess, while yogurt provides protein and balances sweetness with tanginess. Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile. This no-bake dessert leverages cold setting for convenience.
The final pudding offers fruity, creamy notes with a gentle natural sweetness from maple syrup. The texture is thick and spoonable with chia seeds providing a slight gel effect. Topping with fresh strawberries or whipped cream adds contrasting freshness and decadence. This pudding works well for breakfast or a light dessert.
Ingredients
- 12 oz. strawberry roughly chopped (if using frozen strawberries, thaw them first, fresh
- 1 cup milk I prefer to use canned coconut milk as its extra creamy and will add a more pudding-like texture
- 1 cup yogurt dairy or plant-based, I prefer high-protein Greek vanilla yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup honey or agave - to taste
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
Toppings:
- strawberry or other fruit, fresh chopped
- Whipped Cream optional
Instructions
- First, wash and chop the strawberries and add them to a high-speed blender.
- Also, add the milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Purée until smooth.
- After that, add chia seeds. Stir to mix well, I would say whisk vigorously so they don't stick together.
- Distribute the pudding mixture into serving jars, close them with a lid or cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight. The chia seeds should have gelled and the mixture should resemble a thick pudding.
- Serve, garnished with fresh strawberries or and whipped cream, if desired.
