Scale

- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- Toasted almonds or granola (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons chia seeds and 1 cup unsweetened almond milk vigorously for about 1 minute to prevent clumps.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- If using, fold in 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to thicken the mixture.
- Hull and slice 1 cup fresh strawberries. Optionally toss with a teaspoon of honey for extra juiciness.
- Once pudding is set, stir well and spoon into serving bowls.
- Top with fresh strawberries and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
- Sprinkle toasted almonds or granola on top if desired.
- Serve immediately or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
Whisk the chia mixture again about 15 minutes after refrigeration starts to prevent clumps. If pudding is too thick after refrigeration, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen it. Use frozen berries thawed if fresh strawberries are not in season. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing to prevent gelatinous texture.
