Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds Packed with fiber and omega-3s.
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, etc.) Non-dairy alternatives work well.
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries Can substitute with other berries if desired.
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness as per taste.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Optional for extra flavor.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt For a creamier texture.
  • 1 pinch cinnamon Optional for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mash the strawberries in a bowl with a fork or blend them if you prefer a smoother texture.
  2. Add honey or maple syrup to the strawberries and stir well.
  3. Mix in the chia seeds, then pour in the milk and vanilla extract, and combine thoroughly.
  4. Let the mixture sit in the fridge for at least an hour, but overnight is best.
  5. For a presentation touch, reserve some strawberries and add them just before serving.

Notes

If chia seeds don’t gel, check your chia-to-milk ratio and ensure thorough mixing. Pudding can be prepared in advance and stored for up to four days. For more flavor variations, consider adding yogurt or coconut milk.
