Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Frozen Strawberries
  • 1 cup Plant Milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup (or Agave)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Vanilla Yogurt
  • 5 tablespoons Chia Seeds

Toppings

  • Granola
  • Fresh or frozen berries

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: To a blender, add the frozen strawberries, plant milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vegan vanilla yogurt. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring the frozen fruit is fully pureed.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Pour the blended strawberry mixture into a sealable container or bowl. Add the chia seeds and stir thoroughly to evenly distribute them throughout the pudding base.
  3. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the container and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours or ideally overnight. This allow the chia seeds to swell and thicken the pudding to a parfait-like consistency.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: When ready to eat, give the pudding a gentle stir, then serve cold topped generously with your favorite fresh or frozen berries and crunchy granola for texture and flavor contrast.

Notes

  • You can substitute the maple syrup with agave nectar or another liquid sweetener of choice.
  • Plant milk options like almond, soy, or oat milk all work well; choose based on preference or dietary needs.
  • For best texture, allow the pudding to chill overnight, though 3 hours is the minimum time for setting.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
  • Granola toppings can be omitted or replaced with nuts or seeds for different textures and flavors.
