Chia Seed Pudding with Maple Strawberries

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla-flavored almond milk (I used Silk)
  • 1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 pint strawberries, hulled and chopped*
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, yogurt, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until just combined. Whisk in the chia seeds. Let stand 30 minutes. Stir to distribute the seeds if they have settled. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, toss the berries and remanning 1 tablespoon maple syrup in a medium bowl; mix in the almonds.

Spoon the pudding into 4 bowls or tumblers; place berry mixture on top and serve.

*Note: if strawberries are not your thing, this is also wonderful with blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
