As I’ve mentioned before, I have a bit of a sweet tooth. I strive to eat healthy so giving in to that sweet tooth only happens occasionally. I had been seeing a lot of people claiming that chia seed pudding helped them to satisfy their sweet tooth. I figured why not give it a try. I opted to experiment with a strawberry chia seed pudding.

Begin by adding 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 8 oz of fresh sliced strawberries to the blender. Blend together the ingredients until smooth. Next pour the mixture into a glass and add 1/4 cup of chia seeds and 1 teaspoon of Agave (of whichever sweetener you prefer). Cover glass with plastic wrap and allow to refrigerate for at least 4 hours so that pudding can set. Your strawberry chia seed pudding is now ready to enjoy.

Overall, I really enjoyed my first attempt at a chia seed pudding. Before placing in the fridge, I was slightly concerned about the consistency. However, it did set up to a pudding consistency after being in the fridge several hours. It does help to fight sweet cravings and is definitely a healthier option. I am excited to experiment further and create other options. The possibilities are endless. I’m thinking that my next creation will be a chocolate chia seed pudding.
Do any of you have some favorite chia seed pudding recipes you would like to share? I would love to see your favorites.
