Ingredients

Pudding Base

  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Toppings (per serving)

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons diced strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon cashews (or nut/seed of choice)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the milk and strawberries. Blend until smooth.
  2. Transfer to a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds.
  3. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Before serving, mix the Greek yogurt with protein powder (if using).
  6. Top the pudding with yogurt, fresh strawberries, and cashews.

Notes

  • Frozen strawberries are fine — no need to thaw.
  • If the pudding thickens too much, stir in a splash of milk before serving.
  • Store refrigerated for up to 4 days — great for weekly meal prep.
