Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey (or other sweetener, optional)
Toppings
- Strawberries (or other fruits for topping)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Place the plain Greek yogurt, honey, whole milk, and chia seeds into a jar. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly. Let the mixture settle for 2–3 minutes, then stir again thoroughly to prevent any chia seed clumps.
- Chill and Set: Cover the jar tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours. This resting time allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding to a creamy consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: When ready to eat, remove from the fridge and top the pudding with fresh strawberries or your preferred fruits. Enjoy cold for a refreshing and healthy treat.
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk according to your preference or dietary restrictions.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using other sweeteners like maple syrup or agave nectar.
- For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds to 3 tablespoons.
- Store the pudding covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimum freshness.
- Feel free to experiment with different fruit toppings like blueberries, mango, or banana slices.
