Ingredients for this Chia Seed Pudding Recipe:
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk
- 1 cup vanilla fat-free yogurt
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 4 teaspoons pure maple syrup (for strawberries)
- ¼ cup toasted almonds
Directions:
- Prepare the Pudding:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vanilla yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Stir in the chia seeds until well-combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like texture.
- Prepare the Topping:
- While the pudding sets, combine the chopped strawberries with 4 teaspoons of pure maple syrup. Let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, allowing the strawberries to release some of their juice.
- Toast the Almonds:
- Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- Assemble the Pudding:
- Once the pudding has set, spoon it into serving bowls. Top each with the syrup-soaked strawberries and a sprinkle of toasted almonds.
