Creamy Chia Pudding with Strawberries

I really love chia puddings, but only on one condition: they have to be super creamy! In this version, I mix strawberries with coconut milk before adding vanilla yogurt, which gives it a super creamy texture and a delicious strawberry flavor in every bite.

This is the kind of recipe I love to make at the start of the week so I have lunches ready in the fridge for those busy mornings! This chia pudding is also delicious as an afternoon snack.

Good to know

Let the pudding sit for at least 4 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb enough liquid. For an even creamier texture, prepare it the night before.
After about 15 to 20 minutes in the refrigerator, give the mixture a good stir with a spoon to distribute the chia seeds and prevent them from clumping together.

Frequently asked questions

Absolutely! You can substitute raspberries, blueberries, peaches, or mango for the strawberries. The amount of liquid needed may vary slightly depending on the type of fruit used.

Light coconut milk primarily adds creaminess. When combined with strawberries, vanilla, and yogurt, its flavor remains fairly subtle.

This is my secret to making chia pudding creamier! It adds a hint of tartness that balances the sweetness of the strawberries and maple syrup nicely.

Good options include fresh strawberries, granola, shredded coconut, seeds, nut butter, and chocolate chips.
