Main Ingredients

• 16 oz fresh strawberries, stems removed and halved
• 1 ½ cups soy milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 5.3 oz container strawberry Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup chia seeds
• 5 tsp pure maple syrup, to taste

Optional Add-ins and Toppings

• 1 tbsp almond butter (optional, for blending)
• Whipped cream for topping
• Cacao nibs, chocolate chips, coconut, or almond butter for topping

Instructions

1. Blend the base ingredients: Place the sliced strawberries, soy milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and optional almond butter in a blender. Blend until smooth to create a creamy strawberry mixture.
2. Combine with chia seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add the chia seeds and whisk thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed and the mixture is smooth. If you prefer a smoother texture, you may also blend the chia seeds with the mixture.
3. Sweeten and thicken: Taste the mixture and add maple syrup to your preference (about 4 tsp recommended). Set the mixture aside for 15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the pudding.
4. Rewhisk and refrigerate: Whisk the pudding again to remove any clumps and ensure a smooth consistency. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the pudding fully set.
5. Serve and garnish: Enjoy the chilled pudding topped with whipped cream or your favorite toppings such as cacao nibs, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or almond butter for added flavor and texture.

Notes

• You can use any plant-based or dairy milk depending on your preference.
• To make it sweeter, adjust the amount of maple syrup or substitute with honey (same quantity) to taste.
• Blending chia seeds with the mixture gives a smoother pudding; otherwise, it will have a more textured consistency.
• Store leftover pudding covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Optional almond butter adds extra creaminess and protein.
• Perfect for a make-ahead breakfast or healthy snack.
