Main Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries (fresh or frozen, plus more for serving)
- 2 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chia seeds
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the strawberries, milk, honey, and vanilla extract in a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and thick, resembling a smoothie consistency.
- Mix Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly. Let the mixture settle for 2-3 minutes, then stir again well to ensure there are no clumps and the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
- Serve: Divide the pudding into four serving dishes. Top with additional fresh strawberries if desired for extra flavor and decoration.
Notes
- For a vegan or dairy-free version, substitute cow’s milk with almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using maple syrup as an alternative.
- Soaking chia seeds well is important to avoid a gritty texture and to allow them to fully expand.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Mix the chia seeds thoroughly to prevent clumping and ensure an even texture.
