Ingredients
Scale
Base
- ½ pound strawberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk (any kind)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or lemon zest)
Pudding
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Blend base: In a bowl, combine ½ pound strawberries, 1 cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk, 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, blend in a regular blender and then transfer to a bowl.
- Add chia seeds and whisk: Add 4 tablespoons of chia seeds to the blended mixture. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds to prevent clumps of chia seeds and ensure even distribution.
- Refrigerate to thicken: Cover the bowl or divide the mixture into individual jars. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Stir and serve: Before serving, stir the pudding to mix any settled chia seeds. Top with sliced fresh strawberries, nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired. Enjoy the pudding chilled, or warm it briefly in the microwave for a few seconds if preferred.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and milk alternatives.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
- Can be prepared the night before for a quick breakfast option.
- Add nuts or granola for extra texture and nutrition.
- Stir well before serving as chia seeds tend to settle at the bottom.
