Description
Strawberry chia seed pudding with coconut milk is a creamy, nutritious dessert featuring the natural sweetness of fresh strawberries, rich coconut milk, and the unique texture of chia seeds, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Blend the fresh strawberries in a blender until smooth. Pour into a mixing bowl and reserve some slices for garnish.
- Add coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Stir well to combine, breaking up any clumps.
- Cover the bowl or transfer mixture into serving jars. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken.
- Before serving, stir the pudding well. Add extra coconut milk if too thick. Garnish with reserved strawberry slices, chia seeds, or coconut yogurt if desired.
Notes
- Substitute coconut milk with oat or almond milk for a nut-free or lighter option.
- Use flaxseeds instead of chia seeds if unavailable, though texture will differ.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with agave syrup or stevia for vegan or sugar-free alternatives.
- Swap strawberries for other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries based on preference or seasonality.
