  • Fibre: 6g
  • Sodium: 10mg

PREPARATION

  • Combine Chia Seeds And Almond Milk: Mix the chia seeds and almond milk in a small bowl. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed and don’t clump together.
  • Add Sweetener: Stir in the maple syrup. This adds a gentle sweetness to balance the natural tartness of the strawberries.
  • Let The Chia Seeds Absorb The Liquid: Place the mixture in the fridge and let it rest for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the almond milk and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
  • Mash The Strawberries: While the chia pudding sets, mash the strawberries using a fork or blender. You want a smooth and chunky texture mix for a fresh burst of strawberry flavour.
  • Assemble The Pudding: Once the chia pudding has thickened, top it with the mashed strawberries. Stir gently to combine or leave the strawberries on top for a layered effect.
  • Serve Immediately Or Chill: You can enjoy the pudding immediately or leave it in the fridge for a longer time to get an even cooler, thicker texture.

PREP TIME

COOKING TIME

TIPS

These tips are followed for the preparation of Strawberry Chia Pudding :

  • Stir The Chia Seeds Again After 10-15 Minutes: To avoid clumping, stir the mixture after it has set in the fridge. This ensures an even distribution of the seeds.
  • Adjust Sweetness To Taste: If you prefer a sweeter pudding, add more maple syrup or use a natural sweetener like agave or stevia.
  • Use Fresh Or Frozen Strawberries: While fresh strawberries provide the best flavour, frozen strawberries work well too. Simply thaw them before mashing.
  • Make It Creamier: Use full-fat coconut milk instead of almond milk for a richer pudding. This adds a tropical flavour and a thicker texture.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Protein: For a more filling pudding, mix in a tablespoon of protein powder or Greek yoghurt for added protein content.
  • Vegan Option: This recipe is naturally vegan, but you can replace maple syrup with agave nectar or coconut sugar for a different sweetness profile.
  • Boost Fibre: Add a handful of berries, like blueberries or raspberries, to increase the fibre content.
  • Nut-Free Option: If you have nut allergies, replace almond milk with oat or soy milk for a creamy, nut-free alternative.
  • Chocolate Twist: Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to the chia mixture for a chocolate strawberry chia pudding.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • In The Fridge: Store your strawberry chia pudding in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The pudding will thicken over time, so you may need to add a splash of almond milk to loosen it before serving.
  • Freezing: While chia pudding can be frozen, the texture may change upon thawing. For best results, store it in the fridge and consume it within a few days.
