Strawberry Chia Pudding is a creamy, nutritious, and refreshing dessert or breakfast option made by blending fresh strawberries with soy milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, then combining with chia seeds and chilling until set. This vegan and gluten-free pudding is naturally sweetened and full of fiber, perfect for a healthy start to your day or a light treat.

Ingredients

Fruit and Liquid

  • 1 cup strawberries (around 120g), cut into quarters
  • 1 cup soy milk (250ml)

Sweeteners and Flavor

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (small)

Seeds

  • 3 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, combine the quartered strawberries, soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of salt. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you may use a stand blender and then transfer the blended mixture to a sealable container or jar.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly into the blended mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the liquid.
  3. Refrigerate to Thicken: Seal the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This chilling period allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and develop a soft, pudding-like texture.
  4. Serve: Once set, serve the chia pudding in a small glass or jar, optionally topped with a dollop of yogurt and additional mixed berries for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen strawberries as per availability; if using frozen, thaw before blending.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup based on preference.
  • Soy milk can be replaced with any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk.
  • For a nuttier taste, toast the chia seeds lightly before adding.
  • This pudding keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the pudding again after refrigeration before serving.
