Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or your choice of milk)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust sweetness to your liking)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Extra fresh strawberries for garnish

Optional toppings: granola, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts

Instructions
 

Blend the Strawberries: In a blender, add the sliced strawberries, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no large strawberry chunks.

    Incorporate Chia Seeds: Pour the blended strawberry mixture into a medium-sized bowl or an airtight jar. Gently stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This is crucial to prevent clumping and ensure consistent texture.

      Refrigeration: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This step is important as it gives the chia seeds time to absorb the liquid and transform into a pudding-like consistency.

        Stir Before Serving: Once chilled, remove the pudding from the refrigerator and give it a thorough stir to ensure a smooth texture. If it appears too thick for your preference, simply add a splash of almond milk and stir until you achieve your desired consistency.

          Serve: Spoon the chia pudding into individual serving bowls or jars. Top each portion with extra fresh strawberries, and feel free to sprinkle on your favorite toppings, such as granola, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

            Enjoy: Dive into your beautifully crafted Strawberry Dream Chia Pudding and relish in this nutritious and delicious treat!
