Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, pineapple juice, honey or maple syrup, and alcohol-free vanilla extract. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Step 2: Slowly add the chia seeds to the liquid mixture while continuing to whisk to prevent clumping.
- Step 3: Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the chia seeds expand and the pudding thickens.
- Step 4: After chilling, stir the pudding well to break up any clumps of chia seeds. If it's too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk or pineapple juice to reach your desired consistency.
- Step 5: Serve the chia pudding in bowls or glasses, topped with chopped strawberries and garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your refreshing Strawberry Pineapple Chia Pudding!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover Strawberry Pineapple Chia Pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it can last up to 4 days.
- This pudding is best enjoyed cold; simply give it a good stir before serving, and if you prefer a warmer treat, try gently warming individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- For a delightful twist, serve the chia pudding in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers of strawberries and pudding, and consider adding a sprinkle of granola on top for added crunch.
- To enhance the flavor profile, feel free to experiment with different sweeteners like agave syrup or coconut sugar, and adjust the sweetness to your liking after mixing all ingredients together.
