Strawberry Chia Pudding

What do you do when you have tons of Strawberry Milk? You make this delicious chia pudding of course. This gluten-free breakfast has been on repeat in my house and I have a sneaky suspicion it will be for you too! The milk gives this pudding a beautiful purple hue and the chopped strawberries add fibre with another layer of strawberry flavour. The pudding lasts up to 7 days in the fridge so it is perfect to meal prep. If you’re interested in adding a little extra protein to this, you could add a high protein yogurt, cottage cheese, granola and whatever else your heart desires!

Strawberry Milk Chia Pudding Ingredients

  • Strawberry Milk: Essential for amplifying the strawberry flavor profile of this breakfast. It also adds a sweet and fruity base to the pudding, giving it a beautiful pink hue and infusing it with the fresh flavour of strawberries. It also provides calcium and vitamin D, which are essential for bone health. If you didn’t make my homemade strawberry cashew milk you can use any other milk however you might not achieve the maximum flavor!
  • Chia Seeds: The star of this recipe chia seeds absorb the strawberry milk and expand to create a gel-like consistency. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and protein, they make this pudding a nutritious and wholesome choice for your diet.
  • Vanilla: Enhancing the natural sweetness of the strawberry milk and chia seeds, vanilla extract adds a rich and aromatic flavour to the pudding.
  • Salt: Just a small amount helps to balance the flavours in the pudding, highlighting the sweetness and enhancing the overall taste.
  • Fresh Strawberries: These add texture and bursts of juicy flavour to the pudding. Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fibre, fresh strawberries contribute to the health benefits of this recipe.
