  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Strawberry Chia Pudding

  • 140 grams frozen strawberries (about 1 cup), thawed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based yogurt (or sweetened vanilla yogurt, adjust sweetener accordingly)
  • 1 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 2 tbsp freeze dried strawberries
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Almond Date Crumble

  • 1/4 cup blanched almonds
  • 2 soft medjool dates
  • 2 tbsp rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp coconut flakes
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Blend Strawberry Mixture: In a blender cup, combine thawed strawberries, unsweetened soy milk, plant-based yogurt, maple syrup, freeze dried strawberries, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and coconut flakes. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure thorough mixing.
  2. Mix Chia Seeds: Pour chia seeds into a large storage container. Add the blended strawberry liquid and whisk thoroughly to combine. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the pudding to thicken.
  3. Prepare Almond Date Crumble: In a mini-food processor, pulse together blanched almonds, rolled oats, coconut flakes, medjool dates, and a pinch of salt until the mixture reaches a crumbly texture that you prefer.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Spoon a layer of the almond date crumble into a serving cup, followed by a layer of chia pudding. Add another layer of crumble on top and garnish with fresh strawberry slices if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Sweeten the pudding to taste by adjusting maple syrup according to your preference or based on the sweetness of your yogurt and strawberries.
  • If the chia pudding is too thick, thin it out with additional soy milk just before serving.
  • Stir and let sit twice during setting to prevent chia seed clumps and ensure smooth texture.
  • To boost berry flavor, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of strawberry jam if the mixture tastes bland.
  • Optional: Prepare a strawberry syrup by mashing thawed strawberries, straining the juice, mixing with maple syrup, and drizzling on top for extra flavor.
