Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweetener
- Sweetener to taste, such as maple syrup or agave syrup
Instructions
- Combine Chia Seeds and Coconut Milk: In a mixing bowl, add 1/4 cup of chia seeds and 1 cup of coconut milk. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly dispersed in the liquid.
- Add Sweetener: Incorporate your preferred sweetener like maple syrup or agave syrup to taste. Stir well to dissolve the sweetener evenly throughout the mixture.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Pour in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
- Prepare Strawberries: Slice 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries into small pieces and fold them gently into the pudding mixture for even distribution.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture into a container with a tight-fitting lid. Seal it securely and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, give the pudding a gentle stir and serve chilled as a healthy breakfast or dessert.
Notes
- You can use any type of coconut milk, canned or carton, but for a creamier texture, full-fat canned coconut milk is recommended.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference; start with a tablespoon of sweetener and add more if needed.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a squeeze of lemon juice.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make it nut-free and vegan, ensure sweeteners and coconut milk are free from animal products.
