Ingredients used in Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding
Chia Seeds – What are Chia seeds?
Chia seeds are small oval seeds. They are gray with black and white spots. When soaked in water or any liquid they absorb the liquid and form a gel-like structure. Due to this, they are a good replacement for eggs in baked dishes.
They help you stay full longer and are believed to help in lose weight. Chia seeds can be added to various foods like smoothies, breakfast cereals, yogurts, salads, and soups. One can buy Chia seeds at health shops or on Amazon.
Strawberries
I have used fresh strawberries in my recipe. One can use fresh or frozen as desired. Strawberries can be replaced with any fruit.
Sweetener
I do not use any sweetener generally, but I have mentioned a tablespoon of Maple syrup or Honey in the recipe. One can skip it completely, but it just adds a little kick to the pudding.
Milk
Milk is the base of the recipe. Any milk will work in this recipe. Vegans can use coconut or soy milk.
The recipe is quite simple. All you must do is add the milk, strawberry puree, and honey in a bowl. Mix in the chia seeds and let them soak in the liquid for 3-4 hours. Mix the chia seeds properly or else they might clump together. Refrigerate the mixture until you are ready to eat or remove it before 30-40 minutes if you do not like it very cold. Garnish with strawberries, nuts, or granola to your liking and enjoy.
