This chia pudding features layers of creamy strawberry puree and chia seeds soaked in almond milk, creating a satisfying texture. The recipe takes about 15 minutes to prepare and requires chilling time, making it a convenient option for meal prep.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 cup almond milk or any milk of choice
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare Strawberry Puree: In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries and honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Mix Chia Seeds: In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some liquid.
Layer the Mixture: In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chia mixture and strawberry puree. Start with a layer of chia, followed by strawberry puree, and repeat until the glasses are filled.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully expand and create a creamy texture.
Serve: Enjoy chilled as a healthy breakfast or dessert. Optionally, top with additional fresh strawberries or nuts before serving.
