- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

- 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.
