Why I Love This Recipe

If breakfast could pass as dessert, this would be it. This strawberry chia seed pudding is creamy, naturally sweet, and comes together with just a handful of simple ingredients. I love making a few jars at the beginning of the week because they’re ready to grab on busy mornings and actually keep me full. Top it with fresh strawberries, granola, or a little nut butter, and breakfast suddenly becomes something to look forward to.

Enjoying The Leftovers

The best part about this recipe is waking up and knowing breakfast is already waiting for you.

Storing

Store the chia pudding in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Keep toppings like fresh strawberries, yogurt, and shredded coconut separate until serving for the best texture and freshness. Stir well before eating, as chia seeds will naturally settle and thicken over time.

When you’re ready to eat

It is meant to be enjoyed cold straight from the fridge. If it becomes too thick, simply stir in a splash of coconut milk or regular milk to loosen it to your desired consistency.
