Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
