Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Pudding

Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Pudding is a delicious and nutritious treat that is easy to make. This creamy pudding combines the sweetness of strawberries and bananas with the health benefits of chia seeds. It’s a perfect snack or breakfast option that everyone will love!

Why Make This Recipe

Making Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Pudding is a great way to enjoy healthy ingredients. Chia seeds are packed with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. Using almond milk (or any milk you prefer) keeps this recipe dairy-free and adds a nutty flavor. Plus, the fruit makes it naturally sweet and full of vitamins. It’s a simple and fun recipe that can help you stay healthy and satisfied.

How to Make Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Pudding

Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup banana, sliced

Directions

  1. Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to expand and form a pudding-like consistency.
  2. Assemble the Pudding: When ready to serve, give the chia pudding a good stir. In bowls or glasses, layer the pudding with the chopped strawberries and banana slices.
  3. Serve: Optionally drizzle with additional honey or top with extra fresh fruit for added sweetness. Enjoy chilled!

How to Serve Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Pudding

You can serve Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Pudding in small cups or bowls. It’s great for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or dessert. You can top it with a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for added crunch, or enjoy it plain with just the fruit.

How to Store Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Pudding

Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to 5 days. Just give it a good stir before serving again.

Tips to Make Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Pudding

  • For a creamier pudding, blend the almond milk and chia seeds in a blender instead of whisking them.
  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter taste.
  • Experiment with different fruits, like blueberries or mangoes, for a fun twist!

Variation

You can easily change this recipe by adding unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate flavor, or try using different types of milk like coconut milk for a tropical vibe.

FAQs

1. Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes! Just use maple syrup instead of honey to keep it fully vegan.

2. How do I know if the chia pudding is ready?
Chia pudding is ready when it has thickened and has a gel-like texture. It should not be runny.

3. Can I use other fruits instead of strawberries and bananas?
Absolutely! You can use any fruits you like, such as berries, mangoes, or peaches. Just make sure they are ripe and sweet for the best flavor.
