As the creator behind Choosing Chia (where chia puddings are kind of my thing ;)), I’ve tested just about every chia pudding flavour combo out there.
I love all flavours from Orange Chia Pudding to Matcha Chia Pudding and even Snickers Chia Pudding, but I particularly love this Strawberry Chia Pudding during strawberry season. With over 40 million views across Instagram and TikTok on my chia pudding recipes, I know what makes a chia pudding truly taste amazing! This one blends fresh strawberries right into the milk for fresh chia pudding packed with flavour.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- 10 minutes to prep. This entire recipe takes under 10 minutes to prepare and then it just needs to set in the fridge.
- Tastes like strawberries. If you love strawberries, you’ll love this fun-flavoured chia pudding recipe! Use any leftover strawberry to make this Healthy Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp or a tasty Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl!
- Healthy and filling. Each serving of this chia pudding has 220 calories, 12 grams of fibre and 7 grams of protein!
Key Ingredients
- Strawberries: You can use fresh or frozen strawberries in this recipe. Fresh seasonal strawberries will taste best, and if you have extra you can make a batch of Strawberry Fruit Leather.
- Milk: I like to use half coconut milk and half almond milk in this recipe for a creamy chia pudding that doesn’t taste too much like Coconut Chia Pudding. You can use any type of milk you like.
How To Make Strawberry Chia Pudding
Step 1: Add the strawberries, coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract to a blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth.
Step 3: Add the strawberry milk to a mixing bowl or large jar with the chia seeds.
Step 4: Whisk the chia seeds and strawberry milk together.
Step 5: Cover and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set, or overnight.
Recipe variations
- Make it keto: If you want to make Keto Chia Pudding swap out the maple syrup for a sugar-free sweetener and use all full-fat coconut milk instead of almond milk.
- Make it high protein: Add a scoop of your favourite protein powder or 1/4 cup of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt.
- Use any berries: don’t have strawberries? You can turn this recipe in Raspberry Chia Pudding or Blueberry Chia Pudding by swapping out the berries.
How to store chia pudding
Store strawberry chia pudding in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. Give it a stir before serving. It’s perfect for meal prep!
Jess’s Tips
- Use fresh ripe strawberries: The riper the berries, the sweeter and more flavourful the pudding. For another refreshing treat with fresh strawberries try these Strawberry Mango Popsicles.
- Let frozen berries thaw: If using frozen strawberries, let them thaw completely before blending to avoid icy chunks.
- Stir once while setting: Stir the mixture again about 5-10 minutes after mixing to prevent clumps.
- Chill long enough: The chia seeds need time to gel. 2 hours minimum, but overnight is ideal.
- Sweeten to taste: If your strawberries are more tart, add more maple syrup.
- Add toppings: Try topping with strawberries, yogurt, or peanut butter granola.
Chia pudding FAQ
Yes, however keep in mind that if the frozen strawberries are bland the chia pudding will be bland too.
Add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds to thicken, or a splash of milk to thin it out.
