Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)
- Sliced almonds or granola (optional)
- Pinch of lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk in a mixing bowl. Stir well with a whisk or spoon to prevent clumps.
- Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow chia seeds to thicken into pudding.
- Wash and slice ½ cup of fresh strawberries. Optionally sprinkle with sugar or lemon juice if strawberries are not sweet.
- Stir the pudding, spoon into serving bowls or jars, and top with sliced strawberries, a drizzle of honey, and optional sliced almonds or granola and lemon zest.
Notes
If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen. Overnight refrigeration yields best texture. Use high-quality chia seeds for smoother pudding. Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan option. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained.
