Ingredients in Strawberry Chia Puddings

• Chia Seeds – the wonder ingredient binding everything together – Chia seeds are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants, and strawberries are a great source of Vitamin C.

• Maple Syrup – a nice change to refined sugar or use the sweetener of your choice
• Strawberries – red, ripe and low in calories The sweeter and fragrant the better
• Vanilla – just a couple of teaspoons to give this a gorgeous vanillary hint.

Tips for making the perfect chia puddings

1. For the perfect pudding, start with fresh strawberries. Wash them thoroughly and slice them into small pieces. Add the strawberries to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

2.  Add the milk, vanilla and maple syrup and mix till combined. Add the chia seeds and allow to sit for 5 minutes

3. Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

4. To serve, top with fresh berries or other desired toppings like a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!

Why won’t my chia puddings set?

Sometimes chia puddings don’t set properly, leaving a runny mess. There are a few reasons why this may happen:

1) The ratio of chia seeds to liquid is incoreect. When making chia pudding, it’s important to use the correct ratio of chia seeds to liquid. For every 1 cup of liquid, you’ll need 3 tablespoons of chia seeds.

2) The chia seeds were not soaked long enough. Before adding the chia seeds to the liquid, they need to be soaked for at least 30 minutes. This will help them absorb the liquid and expand, resulting in a thicker pudding.

3) The pudding was not refrigerated long enough.

It’s taken a while to perfect the chia pudding mystery but think we’ve nailed this one for sure. They would either be too runny or go the total opposite and become like concrete.

As an alternative you can use half a cup of fresh strawberries and blend them up to create a fresh fruity crush.  Mix them up in between the pudding if you rather.  Creates a fresher taste and with a little tartness.  I personally love using a little bit of maple syrup on the top to give a little hint of sweetness.
