Hi friends! Today I’m sharing a super simple, super yummy treat: Strawberries and Cream Chia Pudding! It’s sweet, creamy, and packed with fiber to keep your tummy happy. Oh and did I mention it’s gluten-free and includes a scoop of @nutrafol Collagen Infusion for shiny, healthy hair?
If you’re short on time, no worries! This treat takes less than 5 minutes to whip up. Just mix it up at night and wake up to a delicious breakfast or snack that tastes like dessert!
Method
Blend the Strawberry Milk Base
Start by making the creamy and sweet base for your chia pudding. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1/3 cup of diced fresh strawberries. Blend the mixture on high speed until it turns smooth and pink, with no chunks of strawberry remaining. This step creates a naturally flavored strawberry milk that will soak into the chia seeds and give the pudding its delicious fruity taste.
Combine Chia Seeds and Collagen
Next, grab an airtight container or a mason jar. Anything with a lid will work! Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 scoop of @nutrafol Collagen Infusion into the container. These are the power-packed ingredients that give the pudding its thick, pudding-like texture and its hair-loving nutrients.
Mix It All Together
Pour the strawberry milk you blended earlier into the container with the chia seeds and collagen. Using a spoon or small whisk, stir the mixture thoroughly. It’s important to mix well at this stage so the chia seeds don’t stick together in clumps. You want every seed to be coated and floating evenly in the liquid.
Let It Chill and Set
Once everything is well combined, seal the container with its lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill overnight, or for at least 4–6 hours if you’re in a hurry. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and swell up, creating a thick and creamy pudding texture.
Time to Serve
In the morning (or whenever you’re ready to eat it), take the pudding out of the fridge and give it a quick stir to make sure it’s evenly mixed. Spoon it into a bowl or keep it in the jar for an easy grab-and-go option. Top it with a few spoonful of Greek yogurt, extra sliced strawberries, and a little drizzle of honey for that perfect strawberries-and-cream finish.
