Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that all chia seeds are incorporated and not clumped together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
Prior to serving, prepare the strawberry topping: wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into quarters.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped strawberries with lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir gently to mix.
Give the chilled chia pudding a good stir to eliminate any clumps and spoon it into individual serving dishes.
Top each serving of chia pudding with a generous portion of the strawberry mixture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, healthy chia pudding with strawberries.
