Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)
½ cup fresh or thawed strawberries, mashed or blended
1 teaspoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

In a medium bowl or jar, combine chia seeds and plant-based milk. Stir well to prevent clumping.
Add mashed or blended strawberries, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using). Mix thoroughly.
Stir again after 10–15 minutes to ensure even distribution of chia seeds.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. If too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, stir in more chia seeds and let sit.

Serve topped with fresh sliced strawberries, granola, coconut flakes, or nuts as desired.

Notes

For a chocolate twist, add 1 tbsp cacao powder and top with vegan chocolate chips.
For a tropical version, swap strawberries for mango and use coconut milk.
Make it protein-rich by mixing in a scoop of vegan protein powder or hemp seeds.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Best enjoyed within 2–3 days for optimal freshness.
Kid-friendly and great for meal prep—layer in jars and serve as breakfast or a party parfait.
