½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped
-
Extra strawberries for topping (optional)
-
Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl or mason jar, combine chia seeds, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to prevent clumping.
-
Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes, then stir again to evenly distribute the seeds.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
-
Just before serving, stir in the chopped strawberries or layer them on top.
-
Garnish with extra strawberries or your favorite toppings like granola, coconut flakes, or a dollop of yogurt.
-
Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
-
For a smoother texture, blend the entire mixture before refrigerating.
-
You can substitute almond milk with coconut, oat, or dairy milk.
-
Great for meal prep—store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
-
Make it vegan by using maple syrup instead of honey.
-
Try topping with nuts or seeds for added crunch and protein.
-
For a lower-sugar option, skip the sweetener and rely on the strawberries’ natural sweetness.
