Strawberries and cream chia seed pudding is a tasty snack or breakfast that can be made ahead of time! It’s so easy to make this simple recipe, and it’s a great way to include more chia seeds into your diet.

Chia seed pudding – have you tried it?

It’s a fun treat you can make with just a few ingredients. Chia seeds are a great source of calcium, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber.

If you’re someone who can’t eat eggs, you might be familiar with chia seeds as they are often used as an egg replacer.

When you buy a bag of chia seeds, you’ll notice that they are tiny, dry little seeds, and they don’t look like they will do much. But when you add them to liquid, they expand and become softer and thicken up the liquid.

These super seeds thicken up whatever you put them in – perfect for smoothies or pudding. I make chocolate chia seed pudding regularly – it’s a delicious way to eat more of these seeds.

Texture

When you make pudding with chia seeds, it has a texture that’s similar to tapioca pudding. If this texture bothers you, you may want to try blending it. I enjoy the texture of it either way. If you prefer it to be smooth, try this creamy chia pudding.

Storage

Store this pudding in the refrigerator. Regular chia pudding can be stored for 4-5 days. Since this recipe includes fresh fruit, it’s probably best eaten in 2-3 days.

  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup

  2. Pour into a bowl or glass jar and add the vanilla and chia seeds and stir to combine.

  3. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate.

  4. After an hour, stir the pudding to redistribute the chia seeds.

    Chia pudding is the best! I love making it for breakfast the night before if I know I have a busy morning the next day. I’ve never had strawberry chia pudding (well, never thought of it!) but I can’t wait to try this. Pinned for later! Yum!
