Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

2 cups almond milk (or your preferred milk type)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Extra fresh strawberries and fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped strawberries, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no strawberry chunks left.

    Incorporate the Chia Seeds: In a medium mixing bowl, pour in the blended strawberry mixture. Gradually add the chia seeds, stirring gently to ensure they are well distributed throughout the mixture. Be careful not to let the chia seeds clump together – they should be evenly spread for the best texture.

      Refrigerate: Choose whether to cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual serving jars. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb liquid and swell, transforming the mixture into a pudding-like consistency.

        Serve: Once the pudding is set, take it out of the refrigerator and stir it gently to combine. Serve the chia pudding in bowls or jars, topped with additional fresh strawberry slices. Finish with a few mint leaves on top for a delightful garnish. Enjoy your refreshing and nutritious treat!
