Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ pound strawberries (plus more for topping)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk (any type)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or lemon zest)
Chia Seeds
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Blend base: Add ½ pound strawberries, 1 cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk, 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to a bowl. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use a standard blender and then transfer the mixture into a bowl.
- Add chia seeds: Add 4 tablespoons of chia seeds to the blended mixture. Whisk thoroughly for about 30 seconds to prevent clumping. Cover the bowl or divide the mixture into jars.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight until it thickens into a pudding consistency.
- Stir and serve: Before serving, stir the pudding to ensure even texture. Top with sliced strawberries, nuts, and an optional drizzle of maple syrup. Serve chilled, or warm a few seconds in the microwave if preferred.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use dairy-free yogurt and milk alternatives such as almond or coconut milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey according to taste.
- Stirring the chia seeds well is essential to avoid clumping and ensure an even pudding texture.
- Letting the pudding chill overnight improves texture and flavor absorption.
- This recipe can be customized by adding nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit toppings.
