Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup (about 150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
- Chopped nuts or granola for topping
Instructions
- Combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut milk in a mixing bowl. Whisk or stir well to prevent lumps.
- Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Optionally, fold in 1/4 cup (60g) of plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to swell and form pudding.
- Wash, hull, and slice 1 cup (150g) of fresh strawberries. Optionally toss with 1 teaspoon honey and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
- Spoon the chia pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Top with sliced strawberries and sprinkle with chopped nuts or granola. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately or chill briefly. If chilled, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Stir the chia mixture every 15-20 minutes during the first hour of chilling to prevent clumps. Use full-fat coconut milk for creamier texture. Adjust sweetener to taste. Leftovers keep up to 2 days in the fridge; avoid freezing to prevent grainy texture.
