Ingredients in Strawberry Almond Chia Pudding

This is a simple recipe with just a few healthy ingredients that provide you with a boost of nutrition while being totally delicious. To make this strawberry chia pudding you will need:

• Chia seeds: Packed with protein, these little seeds will expand when soaked in liquid and create the yummiest texture.
• Almond milk: You can use any milk alternative that you prefer, but I found that the flavor of almond milk works really well in this recipe and complements the flavour of strawberries amazingly.
• Agave syrup: Feel free to use whichever sweetener you prefer and adjust it to your liking. The amount of sweetness can easily be adjusted depending on your sweet tooth and the ripeness of your strawberries!

How to Make Vegan Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding

It is so easy to make chia pudding and it is delicious when served with fresh strawberries. This simple recipe uses just a few simple ingredients and can be made in minutes. To make this chia seed pudding:

• Make chia seed mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, agave syrup, and vanilla essence. Give it a good stir and make sure it is all well combined.
• Chill chia seed mixture. Place the chia seed mixture in the fridge to allow the chia seeds to expand. This should take about an hour - but you can also leave it in the fridge overnight. The mixture will become thick and creamy.
• Make strawberry puree. Place the fresh strawberries in a blender and blend to create a strawberry purée.
• Add puree to serving dishes. Divide the strawberry puree between your serving dishes, spooning it into the bottom of each.
• Top with chia pudding. Top the strawberry purée with the prepared chia seed mixture. You can also create multiple layers of the strawberry purée and chia seed mixture if you prefer!
• Serve. Top your Strawberry Almond Chia Pudding with fresh strawberries, flaked almonds, and fresh mint. I have also topped it with shredded coconut before and that was also delish!
