I absolutely love making strawberry chia pudding because it’s so simple and delicious! It's made with chia seeds that soak up the liquid, turning into a thick, creamy pudding, and I add homemade strawberry puree to give it that sweet, fruity flavor.

For this easy recipe, you’ll need chia seeds, strawberry puree, and your choice of milk like almond milk or coconut milk. I like to add a touch of honey or maple syrup for a little extra sweetness, and you can top it with fresh berries, granola, or even some nuts for added crunch.

This strawberry chia pudding is not only delicious, but it's also so filling and healthy. It’s perfect for a quick breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack when you need a little energy boost.

Ingredients You Need

You will need these ingredients to make this Chia pudding with strawberry:

  • Chia seeds: These tiny seeds are full of fiber and healthy fats. They swell up when mixed with liquid, making the pudding thick and creamy.
  • Plant-based milk: I use almond milk, but you can choose any plant-based milk or regular milk if you prefer.
  • Natural sugar: Sweeten with maple syrup, honey, or your choice of sugar, just stir well.
  • Strawberry puree: I used fresh strawberries, but you can try any fruit like mango or raspberries.
  • Vanilla extract: Adds a nice flavor to the pudding.
  • Fresh fruits: Top with fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or whatever you like!

How To Make Chia Seed pudding with strawberry

Here’s a quick visual guide. Don’t forget, the full instructions with the exact ingredients are in the main recipe card below!

In a medium bowl or glass jars, combine chia seeds, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Stir everything together, cover with plastic wrap, and place it in the fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours. This will give the chia seeds time to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture.

    Medium bol with chia seed and almond milk

    Place fresh or frozen strawberries and maple sugar in a saucepan and heat over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are soft and have turned into a puree.

    Use a fork to mash the strawberries into a chunky compote. Once ready, transfer the compote to a container and let it cool completely.

      For assembling, start by adding a layer of homemade strawberry compote at the bottom of a jar. Then, top it with a layer of chia pudding. Finish by adding fresh fruits and a sprinkle of granola for a delicious, crunchy topping. Enjoy your layered treat!

      Tips for this recipe

      • Use ripe strawberries: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries or frozen fruit if fresh ones aren’t available.
      • Let it sit overnight: For the best texture, let the pudding sit in the fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
      • Adjust sweetness: You can sweeten your pudding with maple syrup, honey, or a little stevia, depending on your taste preferences.
      • Use your favorite milk: This recipe works well with almond milk, but you can substitute with coconut milk, oat milk, or regular dairy milk.
      • Make ahead: Prepare multiple servings and store in jars for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack throughout the week.
      • Blend for smoother texture: If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend the chia pudding before serving.

      Variations & Substitutions

      • Berry Chia Pudding: Swap the strawberry puree with blueberries, raspberries, or a mix of your favorite berries for a new flavor.
      • Tropical Chia Pudding: Use mango puree or pineapple instead of strawberry for a tropical twist.
      • Chocolate Chia Pudding: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder or chocolate chips for a rich, chocolatey version.
      • Nut Butter Chia Pudding: Stir in a spoonful of peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter for extra creaminess and flavor.
      • Spiced Chia Pudding: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to warm up the flavor, perfect for cozy mornings.
      • Coconut Chia Pudding: Swap almond milk with coconut milk for a rich, coconutty taste and texture.
