Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (+ extra for topping)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, reserving a few pieces for topping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, stirring once after 10–15 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Once pudding has thickened, give it a good stir and check consistency. Add a splash of milk if it’s too thick.
- Spoon into serving glasses or bowls and top with reserved strawberries and optional fresh mint.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with oat, coconut, dairy milk, or any plant-based milk.
- Adjust sweetness to taste — the natural strawberry flavor often reduces the need for added sweetener.
- Letting it soak overnight improves creaminess and texture.
- Variations: blend strawberries before mixing for a smoother pink pudding, or swirl in your favorite nut butter.
