Tips, Tricks and Variations to make your best strawberry chia pudding
-
I have used fresh strawberries for this pudding recipe, but you can also use frozen strawberries here — they work well too.
-
You can also add 1-2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt to this pudding recipe.
-
To make it fuller, you can also use some granola or muesli toppings for this pudding.
-
Always add topping right before serving.
-
Instead of pureeing strawberries, they can also be pureed along with milk before soaking chia seeds. I personally like the bright red color of the strawberry puree in the pudding, so I generally add it in the end.
-
You can also add some cinnamon powder to the pudding. It tastes great.
-
I used banana, strawberry, and almond toppings. However, you can use any of your favorite toppings.
-
Another way of making this pudding is, that you can puree all the ingredients and then let the pudding set.
-
I used almond milk in this recipe which can be substituted with coconut milk, cashew milk, soy milk, or dairy milk.
-
You can also add some peanut butter or ground flax seeds to this pudding. Basically, feel free to use any nuts or seeds as a topping.
-
If you do not want to puree strawberries for this pudding recipe, then you can also pulp them up using a fork.
-
You can also replace honey / maple syrup with 2 tablespoons of pureed dates.
-
Sometimes pudding does not thicken up properly. If your chia seed pudding is still liquid and didn’t set as it should, then add about 1 tbsp of chia seeds to the pudding and whisk well. Let it sit for about an hour, and your pudding will thicken up.
